How to control the quality of your honey

Analysing honey isn't about making life complicated: it's about avoiding problems before they reach the customer. The first figure I'd always look at is the moisture, because honey that's too moist can ferment and honey that's too dry can be very viscous and hard to work with. For that, a good well-calibrated refractometer should be in any extraction or bottling room, however small. But I wouldn't stop there. Depending on the type of honey and the commercial destination, it can also be worth measuring conductivity, colour, temperature, weight and batch stability. Conductivity helps a lot to distinguish floral honeys from honeydew honeys; colour is key if you sell by varieties or seek uniformity; and temperature matters every time you heat, decrystallize, filter or blend.

My advice is to handle each batch as if tomorrow you had to explain it: which apiary it is, when it was extracted, what moisture it had, whether it was blended, with which lot and for what. Blending honeys can be a very useful tool to improve consistency or adjust a parameter, but it shouldn't be done “by eye” or to cover up defects. First you measure, then you decide and afterwards you record. And here I'll take a clear stand: selling honey without controlling moisture or batches is taking an unnecessary risk. You don't need to set up a complete laboratory from day one, but you do need a serious base: a calibrated refractometer, clear records, labelled containers and temperature control. For finer analyses —pollen, HMF, diastase, residues or botanical origin— we're already into the lab, but basic control starts in your own honey house.
