The art of honey-making
Not many steps divide honey from the beehive to the table.
The bee-keeper, dressed in white with a mask and a fumigator,
lifts the honey-filled honeycombs from the beehive's reserve. Once
he's removed the wax seals that cover the cells one by one he arranges
the honeycombs in the honey extractor and the honey comes out thanks
to centrifugal force.
The honey is then filtered to remove pieces of wax or other impurities,
and put into a decantation vessel. After these operations the honey
can be stored in pots.
During the honey-extraction phase, all honeys are liquid.
