Glistening honey in the cells -- almost harvest time! Bees remove water and chemically convert sucrose into simple sugars (fructose and glucose) to make honey. When the honey is 'ripe' (water content is <18%), the workers seal each cell with a cap. Well, if we can breed bees that do not cap their honey. it would make extraction much easier. I am ordering an uncapper today (May 28, 2003), which will cost $1,200 (the cheapest that I can afford!). July 2002.
