Im looking at 5 gallon buckets with honey gates on them...  the issue I find is the way they are made would leave a half inch or so of hiney in the bottom of the bucket... because the honey gate is on the side of the bucket...

Is there a better bucket/pail set up where the bottom of the bucket is angled so the last bit of honey will flow out of the gate into bottle??

If there is, I wouldn't want it. The top and bottom honey has the debris in it. I bottle from the middle, keeping the dregs out of my bottles.

It is called a block of wood, 2x4 works.  Although as iddee said the top and bottom should be strained again or given to the bees.
