Faith , I see your point, but what else are we to call it in light of
the chicanery in the honey world?
I know for a stone cold fact that there is raw honey sold at our local
HFS that the beekeeper is well known to give his bees sugar water.
It is not unusual to feed hives early in the spring to get them built
up. If feeding is stopped before the honey flow begins, then virtually
none should show up in the final honey. I can't imagine a beekeeper
feeding a hive during the honey flow, it would not make any sense.
I also know he heats his honey to 90F to process it. People do not
understand the need to know about that, let alone about the need to
not use pasteurized honey.
Since the inside of a hive is kept at around 90F, heating it to 90F
should be of no consequence since that would be simply heating it to the
normal storage temperature inside the hive. The reason for doing this
(normally all that is done is the the honey extraction room is kept at
85 to 90), is so that the honey will flow more easily, pasteurization
takes MUCH higher temperatures.
