Many thanks to those who replied to me on and off-list on this subject.
There were a number of options - but not all were low-cost (or at least not
for beekeepers in S India!). Essential, given the high-humidity climate,
seems to be a dehumidifier - perhaps the most expensive item. If that is
available, then exposing a thin film of honey to the dry air is a relatively
easy thing to achieve, perhaps by using rotating discs in the top of a tank,
or by continuously dipping and raising boards in the honey, or by using a
simple pump to circulate the honey over a board that drains back into the
tank. Fans - readily available -will speed the process.
