GOT CRYSTALLIZED HONEY?
NEED TO DRY BEE POLLEN?

Acquire an old NON WORKING used oven 

Your home oven will work if you are careful to tell 
EVERYONE NOT To turn on without looking inside ALWAYS

An older used oven is only for the insulating factor and racks for spacing.

The light bulb socket can be used but most require the 220 connection.

Use an extension cord or direct wire a lamp or light bulb socket inside.

75 or 100 watt regular light bulbs generate tremendous heat.

DEPENDING ON TIME OF YEAR AND ROOM TEMPERATURE

DIFFERENT LIGHT BULB BRANDS VARY

1 or 2 bulbs will generate 100 to 140 degrees to re liquefy Honey
or reduce moisture and dry Bee Pollen

COMMON SENSE PLEASE

HONEY EXPANDS WHEN HEATED

Loosen or remove lids

Glass Jars can be placed anywhere

BUT Plastic containers need space from bulbs or might melt

Bee Pollen Drying depends on room humidity
and how dry you want the Pollen
Metal cookie sheets with thin layers a couple of HOURS
Plastic Tub Quantities DAYS with stirring 

Some Ovens will also take 5 Gallon Honey Buckets
with EXTREME care on bulb placement

5 Gallons of warm hot honey is a MESS
and can travel 20 feet in 20 seconds
"TRUST ME"


HIGH MOISTURE HONEY Trick
4 or 5 cases of GLASS pint jars NO lids 
can lower water moisture several percentage
when open heated for up to a week

HONEY DARKENING WILL OCCUR to a degree

NO Refrigerator or Freezers, To Much Plastic, JUST OVENS 

These are just random idea suggestions for hobbyist size operations
