honey drying

Honey drying is used when the moisture content of honey exceeds 20%. The optimum moisture of quality honey is 17-18%. Excessive moisture in the honey due to its early harvest or poor quality leads to separation and fermentation. A moisture content of 17% is considered a safe level for slowing of  the yeast activity. Increasing productivity. Bees spend a considerable amount of time and effort to dry the honey in the hive. The possibility of drying the honey after removing it from the frames significantly increases the honey harvest per season.
