Thanks Adam - I suppose you're right.

In industry, a strainer is used to remove coarse particles and a filter is used to remove much finer particles. Strainers tend to be mesh , whilst Filters are supplied in all sorts of materials and can remove particles down to very small micron sizes. Filter your coffee and strain your "greens".
I've understood that using a double strainer removes almost all wax particles and bits of bee.
Some people use a 400 micron mesh to filter out pollen and clear the honey for competitions, but might only do it for a few jars because it can take quite a long time to drip through.
I've never used anything other than a double strainer, and that's ok for me. I've never gone in for competitions for honey or wax.
Double strainer straight out of the extractor does for me.
For honey show filter through 200 micron nylon.
Thanks all - I understand. I entered a couple of jars in this year's honey show, but there were just two of us in the novice section - so I won a prize despite my honey having been strained only. I'll filter a few jars through a fine mesh for next year's show.
