Sealed cans or bottles of honey bearing the mark of the 

 apiary whence the honey came can be relied upon. 

 Pure honey after standing awhile has a tendency to 

 granulate, and this, which is a sign of its purity, is by 

 some mistakenly supposed to be a sign of adulteration, 

 and glucose honey, which does not granulate, is there- 

 fore preferred by those ignorant of this characteristic 



of honey .... ... 186 



The adulteration of honey is an offence punishable by 

 law. Glucose, according to Gleanings in Bee Culture, 

 Mch. 15, 1897, can be very easily detected as follows: 187 



■' Add three spoonfuls of alcohol to one of the honey to be 

 tested, stir vigorously for awhile, and then let the mixture 

 stand for about fifteen minutes. If it then has a bluish milky 

 cast, as if a very little milk had been mixed with a small quan- 

 tity of water, glucose is present."
