Overview

This book describes the role of beekeepers and honey production. It includes the economic important of bees in the ecosystem. Without bees there is no life! Bees play a keg role in maintaining sustainable environment for living and non living organism. The bees in a beekeeper's hive store honey in the combs of an upper honey box, which is taken out after it is full. There are a few different ways to remove bees off combs in the honey box: you can shake and brush the bees off the combs, use a bee-escape board to allow the bees to exit the honey box but not return, use a bee repellant, or blow the bees out of the boxes with a stream of air. The combs used to make beeswax can also be used to sell honey. But because the bees must expend energy to make wax, honey yields are higher when the honey is taken and the combs are given back to the bees. In order to process honey, the following steps must be completed: (1) removing bees from combs to be harvested and transporting them to the honey house; (2) heating the combs to a temperature of 32 to 35°C; (3) removing the wax cappings that the bees use to seal finished honey into the comb; (4) extracting the honey from the combs using a centrifuge; and (5) clarifying the honey through settling or filtration by running it through a strainer and/or baffle tank. After that, the honey could undergo pressure filtering, heating to remove any crystals, and increasing the shelf life and purity of the liquid. You can add seed crystals if you want a consistent granulated honey. It is of great pleasure you found this book interesting and educating. Click the BUY button now and order for a COPY now.
