Bees and Beekeeping

Glycerin is denser than honey. Honey has a lower density due to its water content, while glycerin is a denser liquid because of its molecular structure and composition.

Approximately 1361 grams of honey are in 1 liter.

There are few homely ways you can check the purity of honey. Please try the following:

1. Take a teaspoon of the honey and put in a glass full of water. Adulterated honey will dissolve in the water easily, but pure honey will settle right at the bottom of the glass as lumps for having more dense texture.

2. Dip a cotton pad cotton wick into a bit of the honey, then attempt to light the cotton pad or wick in fire probably in a candle. If it burns easily, then it probably has no added water. If it refuses to burn or makes a cracking sound instead, water may have been added.

The freezing point of honey is 40-50 0C. But honey may crystallize and under this temperature depending on a specific composition, content of water, presence of centers for nucleation, etc.

Normally this is only necessary either to recycle the wax as foundation or to use the wax for other products.

First the honey is extracted by spinning it out, then the wax can be melted and filtered to remove any unwanted particles.

Honey is primarily composed of water, glucose, and fructose. It also contains small amounts of other sugars, enzymes, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. The exact composition can vary depending on the nectar source and processing method.

Yes, carbon monoxide is toxic to bees and can kill them, including those in a nest. It is important to use caution when using carbon monoxide near bee nests to prevent harming the bees and avoid potential environmental impacts.

Worker honey bees eat a mix of nectar, pollen, and water from flowers. They collect these resources to bring back to the hive for themselves and the rest of the colony.

Bee venom is slightly acidic, with a pH around 5. Bee stings can cause pain, swelling, and redness due to the venom injected into the skin rather than its pH level.

Why would you want to kill the bees? Leave them alone.

Please bear in mind that some bee species are protected by law. If they are a protected species of bee, killing them or harming their nest will result in criminal prosecution.

Always call a professional to deal with bee removals.

A beekeeper needs to know about viscosity because it affects the flow of honey. Honey's viscosity can impact its extraction, handling, and bottling processes. Understanding viscosity helps beekeepers maintain the quality of honey and optimize production efficiency.

To separate honey from honeycomb, you can place the honeycomb in a strainer or cheesecloth over a container and let gravity do the work, allowing the honey to drip out naturally. Another method is to crush the honeycomb to release the honey, then strain the mixture to remove any remaining solid pieces.

Honey is a natural sweetener produced by bees from flower nectar, while sugar is a simple carbohydrate extracted from sugarcane or sugar beets. Honey contains more nutrients and antioxidants than sugar but is higher in calories. Sugar is processed and refined, while honey is minimally processed and considered more natural.

The melting point of beeswax varies slightly and is between 62 and 64°C (144 to 147°F).

No, honey is not a good conductor of electricity because it does not contain enough free ions to allow the flow of electricity. Honey is a poor conductor compared to materials like metals or saltwater.

The classic chemistry experiment for making Nylon is to add adipoyl chloride to hexamethylene diamine so that it forms two layers. Nylon 6,6 is formed at the interface of these two layers and can be fished out with tweezers and then continuously pulled out by twirling around a glass rod above the container.

Honey does not contain significant amounts of lipids, as it is primarily composed of carbohydrates (mainly sugar), water, and small amounts of proteins and minerals. Honey is not a significant source of lipids in the diet.

Usually when I dispose of a good sized bee hive, I like to put some water on boil and toss the hive in there. Once the hive has melted into a chunky, honey-coated stew, I like to sprinkle a bit of sugar and some butter, to enhance the flavor. Then, just serve and enjoy. Usually a good sized hive is big enough to feed a family of 3.

Yes, muriatic acid is toxic to honeybees and can kill them upon exposure. It is important to handle this acid with care and avoid using it in areas where honeybees may be present to protect their health and the ecosystem.

Three to four years per queen is the length of time that bees stay. A series of much shorter-lived drones (males) and workers (females) simultaneously occupy the colony thanks to the thousands of eggs -- from which larvae hatch in 3 - 4 days to emerge from cells as drones in 24 days, virgin queens in 15 days, and workers in 21 days -- that the queen produces during the nest's life cycle and natural history. All occupants voyage to and from the colony, with travel times being mission-defined and varying in stays from a few minutes to a few hours outside.

buy a can of wasp,bee killer, will shoot 20 ft, spray them keep soaking it for 2 days If these are honeybees, please do notkill them. Contact a beekeeper who will be glad to remove them for you.

This is so easy it's ridiculous. It's also so expensive it's ridiculous. Buy about 150 pounds of samarium cobalt magnets (or 450 pounds of regular magnets), a gallon of Gorilla Glue and two sheets of plywood. Glue half the magnets to each sheet of plywood with either the positive or the negative poles facing up--your choice, but they've all got to be facing the same direction on both boards. Then get three friends to help you maneuver one sheet of plywood over the other one, making sure the magnets are facing down. The force of repulsion will levitate the bed. There is no such thing as a simple levitating bed. Expensive, complex ones exist, however. See the link: http://spluch.blogspot.com/2006/08/levitating-bed.html
