When
we take the honey from the hives we process it as little as possible.
However we do have to warm it in order for it to be filtered to
remove any unwanted items.
Unusually for a Small Scale Honey Producer we have invested in making a Processing Room.
We have an Api-melter which is a specialist piece of equipment used to accurately warm honey and wax.
Using the Api Melter to warm the honey we are able to closely control the
temperatures, thus ensuring we are able to filter the honey correctly
without damaging it. Similarly the filtering process removes
unwanted items but leaves pollen grains in the honey.
The
newest piece of equipment is a Honey Creamer. This has a built in
heater so we are able to accurately control temperature as we
process the Creamed/Soft Set honey.
Even though we are a small scale honey producer we take the business of Honey Processing very seriously.
