Is Bee-Quick Safe For Honey?
Frequently-Asked QuestionsWe have an "attitude problem" on this issue, one we hope you share. We feel that nothing except honey should be in honey. If you spill ANYTHING into honey, we hope that you will not sell it. Bee-Quick liquid, when used correctly, stays on the fume board, and only the vapors come near the honey. Both Bee-Quick liquid and the vapors produced are non-toxic, which is something that no other product can claim.
Related QuestionsIs Bee-Quick Safe For Bees?
Frequently-Asked QuestionsIf you have a pair of observation hives, simply expose the bees in one observation hive at regular intervals to enough Bee-Quick to induce a noticeable reaction, while marking newly-emerged bees to be able to record the average lifespan of a statistically significant number of bees. As a control, have a second observation hive that is never exposed to Bee-Quick, but otherwise treated identically.

Related QuestionsWill Bee-Quick Get ALL The Bees Out Of My Supers?
Frequently-Asked QuestionsNothing will get all the bees out of every super. There will always be a few bees that are too stubborn to leave, for reasons unknown. (There, we just admitted what no one else except a beekeeper will tell you! At least we are honest...) The few bees that remain in the supers are fairly easy to shake or brush off the frames. If you remove the "stubborn" bees from one super while waiting for the fume board to work on another super or hive, things go fairly smoothly.
Related QuestionsWhat's The Shelf-Life Of Bee-Quick?
Frequently-Asked QuestionsIf the bottle is unopened, still sealed with it's plastic wrap-around seal, and kept out of direct sunlight, Bee-Quick will remain ready-to-use for years.

Frequently-Asked QuestionsA brief history: Both beekeepers had difficulty in shaking and brushing bees at harvest.

Related QuestionsWhy Isn't Bee-Quick Less Expensive?
Frequently-Asked QuestionsWell, it is MUCH less expensive than other "bee repellents", when one looks at the total cost of using "the other stuff". We are not just talking about the Haz-Mat shipping fees, we are talking about costs like clothes that must be thrown away because you spilled Butyric on them, honey that was not made because you had could not harvest when you wanted and had run out of drawn comb, and so on. Bee Quick is even cheaper than fuel and maintenance for a leaf blower.
Related QuestionsDo you recommend bee products? What is honey? What is bee pollen? What is royal jelly?
Frequently Asked QuestionsI advise against all bee products, including honey, pollen, royal jelly, and venom. Nectar is sugar water that flowers produce, in order to attract bees, so that bees will collect pollen and pollinate plants. Honey is nectar that bees collect, swallow, digest, regurgitate, and store; so honey is concentrated sugar and highly addictive. Bee pollen is the pollen that bees collect from flowers. Royal jelly is bee saliva that helps to produce queen bees.
Related QuestionsWhat's The Lowest Temperature At Which Bee-Quick Is Effective?
Frequently-Asked QuestionsWe do not know the exact temperature, but we suspect that you are worrying about the wrong temperature. The outside air temperature really does not matter on a sunny day. If you have painted the metal top of your fume board black, it will heat up to an acceptable temperature even on days that are "too cold for bees to fly". If the day is cool and cloudy, you can use a breeze board and get better results than you would with a fume board.

Manuka HoneyThe raw material for honey is nectar from flowers. The honey bees extract the nectar of the flower, change the chemical structure of nectar and make it into honey. The bees transport the honey back to the hive, where they deposit it into comb like cells. Once each cell has been filled up with honey, the bees produce a wax capping to close the cell and preserve the honey. The bees fan with their wings to reduce the moisture content of the honey from as much as 60% to 20% or even less.Related Questions

The bees change the chemical structure of the nectar, and also fan warm air to reduce the moisture content of the nectar from as much as 60% to 20% or even less. The honey has such low moisture content that it actually attracts humidity like a sponge, and in the hive the honey bees put a wax capping over the full cells of honey to help preserve it.Related Questions

Related QuestionsIs Honey the same as Sugar?
Manuka HoneyIf by "sugar" we mean white table sugar, the answer is definitely NO. Table sugar is sucrose, a substance made up of two molecules attached together. When we eat table sugar, our stomach has to use its own enzymes to separate the molecules apart before we can use the sugar's energy. Honey is quite different. The bees have added a special enzyme to the nectar that separates the sucrose into glucose and fructose, two simple sugars that our bodies can absorb directly.
Related QuestionsCan Honey spoil?
Manuka HoneyOne reason honey is called a "miracle food", is because in its natural form, it is fully preserved. No organisms can live in it and the product will not decompose. However, if the moisture content is raised above 20%, yeasts can begin to grow and cause fermentation. Honey can also change texture over time, and separate out into solids (glucose) and liquids (fructose and moisture). Stirring the product will mix up the components and return it to its former creamed state.
