Honey Do List
Keep honey in a closed container at room temperature and in a dry place.
Do not refrigerate, as this hastens granulation. Natural honey will do what some call turning to sugar.
In reality honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do what I rather call “crystallizing”. When this happens you can loosen the lid, boil some water, and sit the honey container in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it liquefy. Follow these steps closely. Your honey can be as good as it ever was before. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will kill and destroy the beneficial enzymes in the honey. Do not add water to honey, it will ferment if the moisture content is above 18%.
Follow these simple guidelines and you will enjoy your honey for a long time to come.
Honey History
Honey is as old as written history, dating back to 2100 B.C. where it was mentioned in ancient writings of mankind. Through out history man has enjoyed the delicious sweet taste of honey. Its name comes from the English language, and it was the first and most widespread sweetener used by man.
In days of old, honey has been used not only in food, and beverages, but also for medicinal purposes.
Bees perform the vital service of pollinating fruits, legumes, vegetables and other types of food-producing plants in the course of their business of honey production. The first nectars that the bees bring to the hives come from the fruit and the dandelions and are used to maintain the hive. It isn’t until the clover blooms that the bees start packing in a surplus honey. Various clovers and the wild flowers from then on go to supplying the beekeeper with his honey. The first honey that is made is usually light in color and has a very mild flavor. The fall honeys have an amber glow and have a strong flavor. The flavor is amazing. Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot.
