We extract and put the honey into a bucket without filtering first. Let that sit for 24-48 hours and all the wax etc will float to the top, creating a layer of wax above and mostly clean honey below. We then strain it - it makes it a lot easier because 90% of the honey flows through with no worries, then the last 10% is the wax laden stuff that takes longer.The first time we extracted we filltered right away and it took forever.
We let it settle for 24 hours again so all the bubbles rise to the top, then we put into glass jars (in my opinion glass is better than plastic for looks etc). Our jars are 280g jars. Plasdene is a good company, check them out for jars.
