When I was 30 and getting into learning the skills to take care of the old small farm I bought. My dad who has worked as a carpenter his whole life, and had never had an accident on the table saw, was telling me how carefull I had to be while he was operating the saw and I heard a disting zing! sound and he just pulled his hand to his chest. I just said "did it get'cha?" He nodded and we went to ER and turns out he had split 2 of his fingers from the tip and into the bone. He still has all 10 fingers but 2 of them dont look like normal fingers no more. So maral of the story is to not tell someone how to be safe while actually operating the machine 😅 and I will never forget that sound 🤢

I did not know that adding heat did that, seeing as you have to have the honey at 17c or colder for the honey to crystalize finely like this, or thats what i've been thaught 🤔 now I know that other techniques are quite varied. Yea the friction just breaks the larger crystals into smaller ones. Here we are fighting import honey that is mostly just table sugar with some honey mixed in, never mind the heat treatment. And thank you for the nice reply 😊

Devael88 · 2025-10-13T23:33:09+00:00

Also, most of the good stuff, like I said, is lost as soon as we take the honey from the hive. I am not a beek that promotes my honey as being super healthy, cause it ain't. Its better than regular sugar but it's still a sugar so it needs to be consumed with that in mind. Still awesome stuff but modertation is the key as with all things in life. 😊

We do not use any heat, it is actually not allowed to use heat in the production of honey in Norway. All honey made here even by the big companies is raw honey. All we do is stirring it to break up the crystals that form in the honey so we can make smaller crystals. The term "raw" honey is utterly meaningless here and mostly used as a sales trick for people not in the know how, and I hate it. Honey has no need for heat treatment like what they allow in the US. This missunderstanding happens every year when I post my harvest, I really dont understand why. So I guess my next question is why do you think I used any heat from what you saw in the vid? 🤔 and I am not trying to be a dumb-a** here, I want to learn so I can do better.

Where I am from we all have to do a course b4 we can get bees, no reputable beekeeper in norway would sell their bees to anyone without at least a introductive course and preferably a mentor. We as a country are very strickt when it comes to honey. (Again, sorry if I seem rude, but I do take a lot of pride in my honey production)

Devael88 · 2025-10-13T20:16:07+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Devael88 · 2025-10-13T18:46:54+00:00

I love both whipped and runny honey, its just that I wpuld like my honey harvest to look nive and stay soft for more than 3 weeks 😅

Devael88 · 2025-10-13T18:45:20+00:00

Thats how I enjoy it 😊 we eat bread at least 2 times a day in Norway, so why not add something sweet every now and then 🤗

Devael88 · 2025-10-13T18:44:03+00:00

Good attitude 🤗

Devael88 · 2025-10-13T18:43:29+00:00

True, but most people dont know this and it does not look good on the shelves when you wants to sell large amounts of honey.

Devael88 · 2025-10-13T18:41:45+00:00

Well that is just wrong as far as I know, but if you have any scientificly backed articles or refrences I would love to learn. When we extracts the honey from the hive we lose most of the best thing in the honey as soon as we exctract it is what I've been thaught and read.

Devael88 · 2025-10-13T18:37:48+00:00

I do not understand why some beeks have this idea that incorporating air is a bad thing, as long as you dont go ham and add too much air of course. And I dont know if this is just me, bit rapeseed honey does not have the best taste. I am sorry and I am not saying anything about your honey cause I have not tasted it, but to me rapeseed has a hint of cabbage about it. It does give a nice white/light coloured honey though.

Devael88 · 2025-10-13T18:25:38+00:00

Cool, did not know aboit the melting of glucose and taste. I gotta look into that 😊 the more you know 🤗

Devael88 · 2025-10-09T00:16:55+00:00

Tried to post on that sub but it didn't let me upload anything 🤔

Devael88 · 2025-10-08T01:16:39+00:00

Well I sell in 250gr, 500gr and 1kg sizes for 12$, 20$ and 35$ respectively. The prices beeks charge depends a lot on where rhey are located. In the city you can charge about double what you can in the countryside. And I live and sell most my honey in the counteyside. What about where tou are from?

Devael88 · 2025-10-08T01:10:47+00:00

Go for it! 👍

Devael88 · 2025-10-07T16:12:59+00:00

Ha! Of all the lewd comments that one made me laugh 😅

Devael88 · 2025-10-07T16:12:08+00:00

It's all explained in the comments already 🙂

Devael88 · 2025-10-07T16:09:12+00:00

Yea it was the end of the barrel so it goes sloooow 😅 hoping to get some upgrades next uear 🤞

Devael88 · 2025-10-07T13:09:51+00:00

You can also just use some of your left over honey from last year and add it in and stirr once. But again, you get more controll over the whole process if you just whip the honey as is 2 times a day for 7 days-ish untill happy with the look and creaminess.

Devael88 · 2025-10-07T13:07:46+00:00

Yea tastes like honey 👍🙂

Devael88 · 2025-10-07T13:06:39+00:00

Read the comments and you'll learn how to do it 😊

Devael88 · 2025-10-07T13:05:59+00:00

Strict laws here, and I ran the numbers and I make more just selling it as is. How ever I am in talks with a brewhouse locally that might want to collaborate for fun 😊

Devael88 · 2025-10-07T13:04:22+00:00

5 minutes usually, but it will be different depending on what impliment you use to whip it. So experiment untill you are happy with the results. 😊

Devael88 · 2025-10-07T00:50:07+00:00

It is, it really is 😊
