Vernal Express | 1979-07-26 | Page 24 | Early Honey Storage Warning Issued

Early honey storage warning issued Vernal honey producer Elmer Lind. this week warned early honey purchasers, pur-chasers, who buy honey for storage purposes, against the dangers of moisture spoilage. Lind said the honey crop was coming on early ' this year and the early crops would contain, moisture that will cause the honey to sour when stored for long lengths of time. Honey producers should wait until the moisture drys out before taking honey from the hives, explained Lind. 1 If early honey is purchased pur-chased for storage, the buyer should eet a cer- i mm wm tificate as to the moisture content or have the honey tested for moisture to insure in-sure that the honey will not sour when stored, Lind said. Honey processed in the late season is the best for storage, because it has less moisture content am mt concluded Lind,
