Honey dimorphant: reviews, price

Honey is a product that appears as a result of partial processing of nectar by bees. In nature, it serves as an insect for food - collected in the summer feeds the hive throughout the winter.

Honey differ from each other in color, aroma and viscosity. Since bees collect nectar from different plants, the result is different types of product. On sale you can find honey dimorphant, buckwheat, acacia, dandelion, maple and others. Most often, mixed varieties are obtained, as insects collect nectar from flowers of different species. The name is given by the plant, the nectar from which there is the most.

How to make honey

Before turning into a product familiar to everyone, nectar or pad pass several stages. After collecting nectar, insects stack it in honeycombs, gradually adding more and more until the cell is completely filled. While this process is underway, the striped workers constantly add to the honey the secret of their glands.

Under the influence of enzymes, nectar is processed, excess water evaporates, sucrose breaks down into fructose and glucose. During this time the bees several times carry the product from cell to cell. When the water in the honey is less than 21%, the insects seal the honeycomb with a wax cork. It is already ready, ripe and suitable for food product.

Since honey bees are made not only from nectar, there are two kinds of natural product: floral, which is prepared from nectar, and paste - from sweet secretions of aphids or other insects and honey dew. Both are good and useful, although the insect itself does not fit - it is poisonous for them.

Medicinal properties of honey

But among all species, honey is dimorphant. The bees prepare it from the nectar of calopanax of the seven-lobed - rare, relict tree, which grows only in some parts of Japan, China, the Korean peninsula, Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. It is one of the rarest and most valuable species, it has strong antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and other properties.

The cost of a deficit

According to the reviews of those who tried it, it can not be confused with anything else - it has a very peculiar and original taste. It may be long, several years, remain liquid. Crystallizes very slowly, turning into a fine-grained mass. Honey dimorphant transparent, thick, with its own unique aroma.

How to distinguish this product from forgery

The only reliable way how to distinguish calopanax honey from others is to ask a specialist. The price does not mean anything - some kind of guarantee can only give the seller a reputation, serious shops will not want to risk customers.

However, private traders are quite another matter. There are many ways to forge a product - change the color, density and consistency, add a new flavor to it, or strengthen an existing one.

To find out whether there are impurities, you can apply simple chemical tests, although only laboratory analysis will provide complete confidence. Under the brand name kholopanaksovogo can also sell lime or some other, cheaper variety. You can deceive this way only a person who has not tried honey from dimorphant before, but the main conclusion is the same - you should trust only serious, reputable stores and beekeepers.
