Reid, I'm going to repeat this with some emphasis, and you should check it out with any chem teacher you can, or however else you are able: Sugar in an aqueous solution - i.e., distilled water - does not increase the conductivity, so whatever increase your measuring equipment is showing it is not from the sugar in honey. It may be from other 'impurities' or constituents of the honey, or it may be an artifact of your system or procedure, but sugar water is not an ionic solution. Take it from there, good luck,

Thanks Marshall,
I did use some CS from the previous batch, about 20 ml., but this didn't
increase the conductivity.  Note this was at the start of the second
batch, where I had used no starter for the first batch.  At the start of
the third batch there was still little increase in conductivity when
using previously made CS as starter.  That's when I went to honey and
got a huge increase in conductivity with only the tiniest drop.  So for
the 2.4 liters the conductivity went from 0.2 uS to 2.8 uS.
Bye for now.
