Lots of good posts about the chemistry of honey, many thanks. Someone asked "why". No one mentioned what I consider one of the most dramatic products of evolution: Honey! Dilute sucrose, nectar, ferments. But bees require long-term storage. So they evolved a practice of transforming it into a form, "dry" fructose and glucose, which does not ferment. Doesn't this blow your mind as it does mine? Dan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores.
