Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Sue, Dom's kefir site is exelent. But what is his knowledge in microbioligy and what resources does he have for analiseing the flora of his scoby's? And, the scoby digests the sugars in boiled honey for you. The sugars in boiled honey turns mostly into regular sugar when heated. You can for example test if your honey has been heated in for example in a production line or by a evil beekeeper extracting and recycling crystalized through boiling, by analysing the sugar contents and HMF. But, you are perfectly right about the enzymes in raw honey. Jaimye, i have 27 colonies at the moment, I think. Still winter here and I don't want to disturb them quite yet. You are right about raw honey beeing a valuble healthsource. BUT, as you yourself pointed out in your next message. The antibacterial qualities " could " harm (or at least change) the good bacteria in a scoby. A small residue of propolis " could " actually kill the whole thing. I am located in smaland's woodlands, in the south of Sweden. I wouldn't give raw honey to any baby, scoby or human. But that's me. -- Bengt på Stora Kärr Ps. Detta är min nya emailadress framöver.
