Hi Friend,


I always get asked, "What is honey made up of and what nutrients and minerals does it have in it?"

So, here's a generic breakdown I found from a research paper.


The numbers below are based on the amount of grams of each component for every 100g of natural honey or honeydew honey respectively.

Nutritional Composition of Natural Honey

 

HOW NATURAL HONEY AND HONEYDEW HONEY ARE DEFINED

Blossom honey is foraged from flowers.

Honeydew honeyis produced by honeybees that collect honeydew. And here’s the interesting part: ‘Blossom honey’ and ‘honeydew honey’ are two different types of honey. 


Honeydew honey is made from a sticky, sweet liquid produced by certain insects like aphids. This liquid is called honeydew and can be found on leaves, stems, and bark.

Manual Wax Press

Manual Wax Press

Honeycomb wax press is a manual wax press machine for processing honeycomb and cappings from honey harvests not using frames. It is a manual wax press that requires corkscrew type manual twisting to make the vice move lower and higher to squeeze the comb so the honey can escape by way of crushing the comb and cappings. The honey then escapes down the sides and out the funnel at the front end. This leaves the beeswax behind and is about 85% clean of honey. Not all residue is removed using this process however it is effective. The beeswax forms a round shaped cake for further handling and processing. Run the honey through a double strainer which is a macro filter made from stainless steel into buckets and or settling tanks.

Honeygate Tap

Plastic honeygate taps are used to help bottle honey from a bucket or other type of container. Our honeygates are yellow and made from plastic. They include the typical scissor action to help prevent leaks when pouring honey. Cut a hole in the bucket and place one half inside the bucket near the bottom. Place the other half outside the bucket or container. Screw them together and make it tight. Test it with honey or water. Make sure the seal is closed tight and the hole you cut out is at the lowest part of the bucket or container. Do not cut the hole bigger or larger than the diameter of the tap itself. The diameter of the honeygate tap is 40mm wide.

Nylon Strainer Honey Filter

Mesh Nylon strainer honey filter with wire rim inlay that fits large buckets for filtering crushed honey comb. Looks a lot like a white witch's hat made from nylon and is great for straining honey when crushing the honey and not using an extractor. Nylon conical strainers are the perfect tool for when you are crushing the honeycomb and not using a spinner to harvest the honey. The Nylon Conical strainer or honey strainer filter works like a big tea bag keeping the beeswax inside and letting the honey drip through.
8-Way Bee Escape - Yellow Plastic
8-Way Bee Escape - Yellow Plastic
It's the 8-way bee escape used for getting bees out of the super chamber and into the brood chamber so that it is possible to remove the super chamber without many bees still inside it. We don't sell the wooden component but any plastic or wooden or even cardboard can be used as you cut a hole in it and place the bee escape over the hole where the bees will enter and then they walk out the 8 escape routes and down into the brood chamber. One of the hassle of harvesting honey is how to get the bees out of the super chamber... Well, now you know you can use the 8-way bee escape! Postage or courier is extra. Collection is free from the store in Centurion.
