      <image:caption>Once the honey comes out of the extractor it is passed through a mesh to get all the large bits of wax and bee parts out. Some of it does get through though. Once placed in a barrel we'll let it sit and separate out, after a few days you can then scrape out all the bits and pieces and be left with pure delicious raw unfiltered unpasteurized honey. So good.</image:caption>
