Hold the refractometer to a bright light and read where the two colors meet on the scale, then wipe the prism clean. Harvest only when moisture is below 18%, since honey at or above 18% may ferment. Calibrate with the included fluid (or extra virgin olive oil) until it reads 72% solids \/ 28% water, using fluid at the same temperature as your sample.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Foxhound Bee Company\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoxhound Bee Company is a beekeeping supplier offering harvesting and bottling tools for beekeepers at every level.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Foxhound Bee Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50282821878038,"sku":"HH670","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/5555\/8422\/files\/Hand-Held-Honey-and-Juice-Refractometer-with-ATC-1.webp?v=1791280867","url":"https:\/\/madelines.sbs\/products\/hand-held-honey-and-juice-refractometer-with-atc","provider":"Madeline's","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
