How to use

Screw the threaded honey gate into the pre-drilled hole with firm pressure; many beekeepers use the top of a frame end bar to tighten it fully and minimize dripping. Set a strainer on top, pour in honey from the extractor, and open the gate to fill jars. The square shape keeps the bucket stable while you work.
