What is white honey The discovery of a light bee product on the shelves raises one question - what is hidden behind the name "white honey". This is regular pollen nectar collected by bees. Varieties belong to the monofleur type - they consist of pollen and nectar from one species of plant. Typical honey plants: linden, raspberries, acacia, cotton, white clover. Freshly collected nectar appears in a different color palette: amber, golden, transparent, brown, greenish. Appearance changes after sugaring. The product thickens and whitens. Be sure to present a different shade - cream, pink, beige, yellow, gray. Monofloral nectar is more difficult to obtain, since it is impossible to make bees collect pollen from only one flower. Therefore, beekeepers carry hives closer to the area with flowering plants, which gives insects the opportunity to collect from the right honey plants. Shortages and difficulties in obtaining leads to a high price. What determines the density and white color of the product Lovers of beekeeping products are interested in why over time the honey becomes white, dense and dense. The consistency is affected by the amount of sugar and moisture in the nectar, as well as age (the time elapsed since the collection). Three ways to get whitened and thick, like butter, honey: natural course of sugaring; whipping - there is oxygen saturation and thickening of the mass, the color with the texture changes; feeding bees with sugar syrup - whitening after crystallization. The first two methods are considered safe, the product does not lose its benefit, but sometimes the aroma and taste change. With artificial knocking, cream honey is obtained. The third method leads to an increased sugar content, which, when consumed in large quantities, often harms the body.
