Reminds me. I’d tried that test where you spread honey out in water to see the hexagons form, using honey I got from the farmers market, and it didn’t work.
Is that maybe because the honey did t contain much wax? Or only true of the wax maybe?
Discussion
I have never tried it but have heard of it. There is obvious formation with pure beeswax, not sure that honey would do it because it is stored in wax but not composed of wax, yet lots of wax microscopic particles ate in raw honey. I have also been asked about the metallic spoon motif, too. If you have a wooden spoon, by all means use it, but don’t twist yourself in knots, because all honey is extracted in stainless steel extractors, not wooden ones. Tell me the test you did and I will try it with my several kinds of honey, and see if it takes/performs as expected. Then I will report back.
I’d just heard the spoon thing recently lol. Good to know the reasoning why it’s mostly irrelevant.
As for the test, when I google “honey mixed with water shows hexagons” I see a lot of debunking in results, so maybe don’t waste your time. But I had seen a viral clip or two doing it (prob fake)
