What is the best way to skim the sediment that settles to the top of the honey in bucket before I bottle it?

A sheet of saran wrap works well. A spatula slid under it (straight sideways, not "scraping") works pretty well if you don't want to waste the plastic.
Just running the honey off the bottom with a honey gate and stopping when you get to the scum isn't entirely impractical either.
After skimming you can feed that back to the bees.

Huh? How does the "saran wrap" method work? Lay it on top and then withdraw and the skim comes off with it?
i used paper towels before
Yes just lay it on top and pull it off, do a couple of times if necessary
silly me i never thought of giving it back to the bees, yet at the same time i hated throwing in the trash, we all learn something new every day dont we
