more honey

[stacymckenna]

So, in addition to the cut comb you saw yesterday, our crush/strain yielded a 5lb bottle of honey (plus a dribble beyond that), enough wax for 6 votives, and 3 quarts of honey water from the cappings rendering process. This honey water absolutely requires cutting before drinking - the concentration it currently has could probably have been used for

Mmmmm...

Drooling here! Could you make mead from the honey water?

Yeah, I wish I was close enough to help. Sounds so nifty.

I could theoretically, but since I didn't have control over the amount of honey that went into the water (it's essentially rinse water from cleaning the wax) I'm not gonna go that route. I may do something similar and use it for making ginger ale!

That is cool! I'm glad your bees were able to help you make cool stuff.

[stacymckenna]

I will keep that in mind! ;P

Same here! I've had lots of time to gather hints and tricks to maximize yield during harvest... ;)
