Question;) 'Box> 



In the multitude of counsellors there is 

 safety. — Prov. 11-14. 



Separatin;; I lie Wax from the 

 Honey. 



Query 995.— What are the objections (it 

 any) to separating the wax from the honey in 

 a vessel "with a water-jacket all around it?— B. 



E. France — I don't know. 



Rev. M. Mahin — I do not know. 



G. M. Doolittle — I know of none. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — I don't understand. 



W. R. Graham — The flavor is soon in- 

 jured. 



H. D. Cutting — I see no objections for 

 small lots. 



J. M. Hambaugh — I have never tried 

 it, and don't know. 



J. A. Green — Most honey would be 

 ruined by such treatment. 



Dr. C. C. Miller — The chances are that 

 the honey would be overheated. 



Mrs. J. N. Heater— I have never tried 

 it, and don't think I ever shall. 



Rev. E. T. Abbott— I should prefer 

 honey secured by a different process. 



B. Taylor — Honey so separated has a 

 different flavor, and is darkened in color. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — No objections if 

 the honey is in cappings and small bits 

 of comb. 



C. H. Dibbern — I fail to see the object 

 of such an operation, but I see no ob- 

 jection to it. 



P. H. Elwood — The heat necessary to 

 make the separation injures the flavor 

 of the honey. 



W. G. Larrabee — I never did it in this 

 way, but I don't think there would be 

 any objection. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — I have tried many 

 ways of melting comb honey, using the 

 greatest care, and it would always have 

 the taste of wax. 



Jas. A. Stone — The only objection I 

 know is that it is too slow, although I 

 do it that way when I only have a little 

 to extract, and need a fire in my honey- 

 house to work by. 



R. L. Taylor — I suppose it is meant 

 that the separation is to be effected by 

 heat; in that case there is no possible 

 objection if one does not care for the ex- 

 tra time and fuel required. 



Eugene Secor — Perhaps I do not un- 

 derstand this query. If the querist re- 

 fers to the old-fashioned method of get- 

 ting " strained honey," I have no opin- 

 ion to give. I have no experience. 



Allen Pringle — The objection is (if I 

 understand your question aright), that 

 the flavor of the honey will be impaired. 

 Even though there be no pollen nor 

 propolis pi*sent — only wax — the honey 

 will have a mere or less waxy taste. 



G. W. Deraaree — I will venture a 

 pound or so of honey, that Mr. B. will 

 puzzle the whole college of experts with 

 this question. Do yon mean by " wax " 

 and " honey," honey in the combs? I 

 use a honey-extractor to separate the 

 honey from the combs. Do you mean 

 the cappings and broken fragments of 

 honey combs ? I use the solar wax-ex- 

 tractor to separate the honey from the 



wax. If your vessel with a water-jacket 

 so as to apply hot water to the inner 

 vessel is an improvement on these plans, 

 I do not object, except — well, I do object 

 to the trouble of heating water in hot 

 weather. 



W. M. Barnum — I recently asked this 

 question in an article in the Bee Journal, 

 and have failed to see any answer to it 

 up to date. It would require close at- 

 tention, but it is surely an easy and 

 cheap method, if practicable. I am 

 quite favorably inclined. But — read 

 what the others say. 



Chas. Dadant & Son — There is no need 

 of this. We have jacketed vessels, but 

 we drain our cappings in a capping-can, 

 and what remainsof the honey is washed 

 out of them at about 125-, and used for 

 vinegar or wine. Thus there is no waste 

 whatever. The honey rendered from 

 melted wax would be very inferior and 

 dirty. 



J. M. Jenkins — I suppose you mean to 

 have a hot stove mider it, too. Well, I 

 object to it on the general principles. It 

 would be a messy job, full of experience, 

 dissatisfaction, and meagre results. I'd 

 rather use a solar extractor. But I ob- 

 ject in the first place to having honey in 

 this shape — "chunk honey." If you 

 read the American Bee Journal how is 

 it you don't use frames and the honey- 

 extractor ?
