Keeping below the 50% relative humidity was the problem in our experiment.
In areas of high humidity it is very difficult to maintain below 50%
humidity unless the processing area is built for maintaining low humidity.
*If* the honey is not processed fast the moisture level will keep getting
lower until you have some very low moisture honey (problem I had).

I am going to ask researchers at our national meetings. Although very little
is in print about the SHB some research has been done. The research Trevor
quotes comes from our Beltsville lab so maybe Jeff has a few answers.
