'Will a Boiling-Water Tempera- 

 ture Destroy Honey.Flavor ? 



Qnerr 993. — Will the temperature at 

 which water boils destroy the flavor oi houey? 

 —J. A. D. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — Yes. 



W. G. Larrabee — It will injure it. 



G. M. Doolittle — It will change it. 



J. M. Hambaugh — It will injure it. 



C. H. Dibbern — Yes, most certainly. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — Yes, in large part. 



Eugene Secor — I should fear it would. 



W. R. Graham — It will, to some ex- 

 tent. 



P. H. Elwood — Yes, it will injure the 

 flavor. 



Rev. M. Mahin — It will seriously in- 

 jure it. 



Chas. Dadant & Son — Yes, to a great 

 extent. 



J. E. Pond — I have never tried, so I 

 don't know. 



Mrs. J. N. Heater — I think so, to a 

 greater or less extent. 



Jas. A. Stone — No, not if kept in a 

 vessel within a vessel. 



J. M. Jenkins — Yes, if kept at such 

 temperature for any length of time. 



E. France — It may not destroy it, but 

 It will change the flavor more or less. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— I think it would 

 spoil any good honey. Still, there are 

 some who like the cooked taste. 



W. M. Barnum — I have never experi- 

 mented in this direction. It is possible, 

 perhaps probable. Try it and see. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown— That depends 

 how long you keep it at that tempera- 

 ture. For a few minutes it would not. 



H. D. Cutting — Yes, every time. Never 

 let it go above 1500. use a low tem- 

 perature, and take longer time to heat it. 



R. L. Taylor— It would destroy the 

 fine aroma of the honey, but of course it 

 would not leave it entirely without 

 flavor. 



B. Taylor — I believe not. I heat all 

 of my extracted honey to that point to 

 Improve it, but it can only be done safely 

 in a steam bath. 



J. A. Green — Usually. Some kinds of 

 honey will stand much more heat than 

 others. I have seen honey tliat was im- 

 proved by being heated to that degree. 



Rev. E. T. Abbott— No ; but it should 

 not b loft there very long. If the honey 

 is wnimed up in a vessel set in another 

 containing water, there is no need to let 

 it boU 1 1 is better to melt it slowly. 



Allen Pringle — While the water-bnil- 

 ing temperature might not completely 

 destroy the flavor of honey in all cases, 

 it quite spoils the flavor in most cases. 

 About 140° is high enough to go in 

 liquefying. It takes longer, but pays in 

 results. 



G. W. Demaree — It will not destroy the 

 flavor of the honey, but it will injure 

 its flavor decidedly. Why not melt your 

 granulated honey in small tin buckets, 

 set in a frame under glass — by the heat 

 of the sun ? I know of no other method 

 of reducing granulated honey that will 

 leave it pure and unchanged.

PROF. A. J. COOK. 



This 15th and latest edition of Prof. Cook's magnificent book of 460 pages, 

 in neat and substantial cloth binding, we propose to give away to our present sub- 

 scribers, for the work of getting new subscribers for the American Bee Journal. 



A description of the book here is quite unnecessary — it is simply the most com- 

 complete scientific and practical bee-book published to-day. Fully illustrated, and 

 all written in the most fascinating style. The author is also too well-known to the 

 whole bee-world to require any introduction. No bee-keeper is fully equipped, or 

 his library complete, without "The Bee-Keeper"s Guide." 



Read This New Offer. 



Send us Three New Subscribers to the Bee Journal (with $3.00), and we will 

 mail YOU a copy of Prof. Cook's book free as a premium, and also a copy of the 

 160page " Bees and Honey " to each New Subscriber. Prof. Cook's book alone 

 is .$1.25, or we club it with the Bee Journal for a year — both together for $1.75. 

 But surely anybody can get only 8 new subscribers to the Bee Journal for a year, 

 and thus get the book as a premium. Let everybody try for it. We want to give 

 away lOUO copies of this book by Jan. 1. Will you have one ?
