I liked Peter's info a lot, but it's true that the numbers are far too imprecise to really know the quantity of the bee-added enzyme. (And it really doesn't matter; this is all an intellectual exercise for a very Orthodox rabbi interested in bees and myself). I agree that it's smaller than .8%. My 2008 Hive and the Honey Bee gives a lot of info about enzymes, but not their quantity in honey. Of course, it's a big book, and I may have missed it! -- ***************************** Lesli Sagan [log in to unmask] *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
