I found this list of abstracts from a honeydew symposium back in 2008 in Bulgaria. It looks like it was sponsored by Apimondia https://www.ihc-platform.net/honeydewsymposiumprogramabstract.pdf Last year at Apimondia in Montreal, I did bring some samples and visited some Polish and Slovakian honey experts who helped me confirm my spruce honey (2018) but had never tasted anything like the sample from 2017. I don't have a centrifuge but I found myself a salad spinner that I can modify ~1000rpm. The procedure I found to prepare the sample is 5g of homogenized honey with 100ml of warm distilled water, dissolve and mix well, then spin to concentrate the sediments. At higher speeds, but home contraption will have to do. Here are some interesting reads on Honeydew Analysis: http://www.hjbc.hacettepe.edu.tr/journal/volume-44/issue-4/the-microscopic-and-gc-ms-analysis-of-turkish-honeydew-pine-honey/index.html https://content.sciendo.com/configurable/contentpage/journals$002fjas$002f57$002f1$002farticle-p51.xml *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
