They contain some pollen and propolis and is great medicine.

Well, I am taking it this way.
Flowers do not produce too much sucroze.
They produce fructose and the bees process it into honey.
They can process sucrose into fructose with the enzimes they have...

When hot if you add lemon juice it will become fructose and that will not cristalize and that is closer to natural nectar....

Warm water.

We will not be upset if you share with all.

I had a tank made of aluminum at work with one inch extra outside of the boxes. I heat it on a recycled electric top to prevent any fires. I build a wood box 2 inches smaller then the interior of the...

1. Not true.
2. Maybe YOUR vocabulary.
3. Money is a product of labour.

NO, and lack of knowledge and greed drives one to use pesticides in the hives.

You put that on your honey label and let me know how it goes.

In reality the process is to bring the sugar syrup close to boiling point and add citric acid to transform the sucrose in fructose and that why is sweeter.
You want to make 3:1 or more and dilute it...
