The white substance on top of my honey

[Steelton Bee Man]

This may seem like a dumb question, but what do you guys do with the white stuff that sets on top of your honey in the bottling bucket? I was wondering if that was honey that some would cream or call creamed honey. If have been skimming it off and washing it down the sink. Thanks.

It sounds like foam or froth. Sometimes I skim it off and get rid of it. But if there isn't much there I leave it to wash out of the tank after I'm through straining the honey. Then it gets washed down the drain.

that get created when extracting and filtering.

FYI creamed honey is actually regular honey that sets up into a semi-solid by a special process of "forced" crystallization where the crystals are hopefully too small to be detected.

Lay a piece of plastic wrap flat on top of the honey and then peel off, it'll bring most of that with it. Eat it on toast!

dcross, I tried eating it on toast as you instructed but the plastic wrap keeps getting stuck in my teeth. Should I toast the bread longer?
