When I lived in Indonesia in the early '80's I heard of a project in
Sumatra involving a honey dryer.  I never saw it but it had revolving
plates to sheet the honey and a hot air blower.  The problem was that the
climate was so
humid that any gathered honey was very soon very moist and runny, and
therefore couldn't be marketed because of fermentation.  This machine was
the basis of a honey industry in Riau Province.

My question is whether such a system exists in North America, or is
commercially available.  That would solve the problem.
