- In this video Chris is in the honey room looking at the difference between set honey and runny honey.
It's a question we get asked regularly at food and farming festivals.
The sound in the background for part of this video is the honey creamer mixing delicious set honey.

I love set honey and I always wondered how it was made. Thank you for this informative video.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Fabulous video, so clear, concise and informative. Very happy I stumbled across it! ❤
Thank you. We will be adding more videos very soon
Loved the video dont see much of this in Wales I would love to buy some soft set honey but money is very short at the moment l. I hope you keep making videos
Great vid 🎉
Thank you
Very clear and informative. Many thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video
Thanks
Interesting, when you mention to 15mins of mixing 45mins rest time it made me think of ice cream making... Freeze mix, freeze mix... It's all about the crystals baby 😎 ❄️💎
So true!!
I recently managed to get wild Mondulkiri Honey from Cambodia I showed a few guys who told me it was no good because it's runny however after trying it they fell in love with it. After watching this I'm guessing it's runny because it has high fructose content?
I’m not sure but would love to try it.
@@cotswoldbees where are you based? Perhaps I can send you some?
That is so kind. Please don’t put yourself to any trouble. We are based in the Cotswolds in the centre of England. Address is on our website.
@@cotswoldbees no stress on my end my friend. I will send you some. I have over 5kg lol. Will send some out this week
That is so kind.
Nuts to tell people to put honey into a microwave
When you warm it should the lid be tight or loose
I would loosen the lid but be careful not to get any water inside.
How many gallons is your creamer ??. I have not saw one that size . Thanks
It’s 50 litres and from www.abelo.co.uk
@@cotswoldbees thank you .
I buy soft set honey for under £1, Manuka honey for over £30 & everything In “beetween” 🐝
I’m amazed at under £1 for soft set honey. I worry about how you can look after bees properly, harvest the honey, extract it, cream it to make it soft set, put it in a jar with a label and ship it around the world and make a profit for less than £1.
@@cotswoldbees I've been wondering the same thing. You can buy a 454g jar in most big shops for + - 1.50 . It often says "a blend of non-EU honeys". How is it possible to produce it so cheap and where do all those hundreds and thousands of tons in the shops come from? Where do they keep all the bees? How much of the honey is sugar? I heard it takes a bee 10.000 flights to produce a gram of honey... not sure if that's true but something's fishy here.
Basically it takes 12 bees their whole lives to produce one teaspoon of honey (so always lick the spoon). A lot of honey on the market is adulterated with sugar and similar syrups and so you have to be really careful when buying. Especially if it is from bulk sources. Thanks for watching the video. Soft set honey for under a £1. I could not even put it in the jar for that let alone make a profit. Take care with cheap “honey”
China produces more “honey” than the entire world population of bees could possibly make.
It’s buyer beware when it comes to honey.
I bought creamed honey but it’s runny like regular honey? What causes this? It also tastes really flowery and smells like it too. Its taste is very sugary unlike other organic unpasteurized creamed honeys I’ve gotten before.
Are you certain it was creamed honey and not regular honey that had crystallised? Did it say creamed honey on the label? If it was ours contact me direct and let me know the batch number and where you bought it. If it is someone else’s I don’t know.
What happens if I don't put starter honey? I will only put liquid honey into the machine, it will mix for 15 minutes, and then rest for 45 minutes.
