Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 Marge, maybe a little off topic. But as some use honey in KT, maybe not :-) Guess one could see this as my presentation to the list. Im not working cause of a variation of healthprolems. But I keep active with my bee's, milkgoats, sheep, chickens, guinea fowl, quail and......well, you get the picture. I live in a menagerie! My honey is completly wild. The seasons here in the woodlands are short bursts of different flowers. Starting in maj when the gooseberries and dandilions bloom. Then comes apple, cherry, blueberries and rasberries. And in late august-september heather, witch gives a very dark rich honey that is very hard to extract. But some beekeepers migrate hives to the canola fields out on the flat farmland 20-30 km's from here. On a good year their average yeald can be up to around 110 kg's per hive. I get maybe 30-40 kg's. Sue, the botulism problem doe's not come from plants OR the bee's. It is purely to ignorance of the beekeepers, who rest frames on the ground next to the hive while inspecting a hive. A human child aquires antibodies against botulism around three years of age. Lots of honeyjars in the shops contain pasturised honey, which is safe. But a ruined, " dead " product. You could just as well feed your kids lollipops then :-/ The first message I sent to this list was about contiuous brewing of KT. But I did not see if it was posted. Does anyone care to share their favourite methods? How big container? How much to take out befor refilling? And in what intervals? And so on.... Thank you! /Bengt Quote
