Ripening of Honey For Better Flavor
Local beekeepers caution against rushing harvests. Honey may be partly sealed in some places but should not be extracted until fully ripened to avoid flavor loss. Experts differ on indicators of ripeness due to regional honey varieties. Well ripened honey granulates slowly and has a finer smooth texture.
Be The Bees Have Many Eyes
Be es possess two kinds of eyes with 3,500 facets per compound eye forming many tiny images. Each facet is a small inverted hexagonal pyramid acting as a separate eye with its own iris and optic nerve.
Raspberry Bloom Honey Hard to Remove When Ripened
A high quality raspberry bloom honey becomes very thick when fully ripened. It is so viscous that it cannot be easily drawn from a jar without warming, and it will not spill from an upside down vessel in moderately cool weather. Raspberry honey typically granulates quickly but does not when ripened properly.
Beekeeping Tip on Triangular Foundation Sizing
When using thin surplus foundation pieces, cut them triangular to fit. Bees extend comb fastest at the middle, so mimic this by shaping foundation accordingly when full sheets are unavailable.
