Probably not.

‘Carcinogenic potential”

What is nice term to use. Potential is one thing, reality is another.

Where does this new member come from? Has this new member simply joined to air a particular agenda?

Is this NIS a 100% recognised authority in all such matters?

Have they checked the content in cakes,etc that contain sgar and are heated while cooking?



Honey is routinely pasteurised, to prevent fermentation, for the commercial honey one buys from all the supermarkets. Pasteurisation takes place at about 85 Celsius, I believe?

I suggest this is a scammer and needs removing from the membership. Mods, please take note.

Is it just me but I’m always a bit suspicious of someone who joins with absolutely NO information about who they are, where they are, how many hives etc…. Scammer, spammer or troll?

How many hives was included in the application. I let them in, tentatively. I may regret it but you can’t be suspicious all the time.

We all have the potential of becoming mass murderers - very few of us will however.

I suppose it depends on how many scammers, spammers or trolls REALLY piss us off!

Some quite heated debates here sometimes!

I have tested, in which temperature I can soften 25 kg bucket in hot water bath?
Answer was 55C. In colder water nothing happens and in warmer water the honey gets aroma of melted wax

I put the bucket into the water, 60 litre.
It depends, how cold is bucket, when you put into the bath. Is it 20C or 10C.

But the water temp and honey temp starts to even at once.

When bucket temp is +20C, it takes about 4 hours that the honey is soft to be canned.
But you must handle the bucket first with fine seed honey.

If the honey is coarse, you must melt it totally back to get of sand like taste. And then you start to handle from beginning with fine set seed honey.

This is my go to for honey temperatures.

Quite a rubbish that degree table . When the temp goes to 60C, wax particles start to melt and the aroma of the honey is not same any mote.

35C is inside the hive .

If you keep honey in the the temp of room 25C three months, the honey start to get fermented aroma. You feel it in hour nose

You have then spoiled your honey crop aroma if you heat it to 85C.

In the American patent Soft Set Honey the sterilizing temperature is 160F = 71C. The patent is from the year 1930. The inventor was a beekeeping professor.

When you make home fruit jelly, and boil the jelly in the 100C, you will not get cancer....
