>>Townsend, the authors report, showed fully ripe honey actually
picks up relatively little color, although the amount could be
measured.
A lot of nectar, with its higher water content, is initially
deposited in the brood nest. If there's any absorption of substances
any changed color honey will be moved up into the supers.
Has anyone determined if the supposedly slight color change was due
to absorpotion of propolis?
