Honey

Gently warm your honey to melt the crystals. Avoid direct heat (like a saucepan), instead placing your honey jar in a warm water bath. Remove the honey, stir it, and replace until you get the desired consistency back.

This depends on your definition of vomit. As gross as that sounds, the way bees make honey is actually an amazing process. Bees collect nectar from flowers and they store it in their honey stomach, also known as the crop. Bees have another stomach, the ventriculus, for the food they eat and digest. In between the crop and their digestive stomach is the proventriculus, which not only feeds the bee’s digestive stomach nectar and pollen from the crop, but also ensures that the nectar in the crop never gets contaminated with the contents of the ventriculus.

Once at the hive, the forager bees regurgitate the nectar from their honey crop into a processor bee’s mouth. That processor bee then stores the nectar in its honey crop and regurgitates it to a bee that’s closer to the honeycomb for storage. So, honey is really the vomit of many bees combined.

Funny honey is a product which is created by unscrupulous persons or companies to increase their profits. It is done by mixing a syrup like high fructose corn syrup or simple sugar and water and mixing it with real honey to decrease their overhead costs. It is then labeled as honey in some form or another and sold to unsuspecting customers. Sometimes a small amount of syrup gets into honey by bees robbing humming bird feeders or cleaning out your discarded soda can. In small amounts it is not a problem. Bees can use the syrup themselves, that is why after honey is harvested from beehives, keepers often feed them sugar water so they can restock for their winter use.
