Bees are starting to work on the Chinese Tallow. Ben, Palmetto blooms with Gallberry and Tupelo. Both of them do not crystallize very much. I have had jars of this honey on the shelf for 5 years and not crystalize.
Bill pulls his honey trying to get purer flower flows so he might know.

Terri,
Bees use that condensation as a water source during cond weather to dilute the honey. It is not a bad thing.

Animal if you want to get the Falcon 2 22 watt laser, right now it is on sale for $519 Directly from Creality. Normally around $900. It comes on Amazon for approximately $850. If you order it you will also need the honey comb base that goes under the laser and a ducted cover to exhaust the fumes out a window.

Have a look at some research done by Dr. Kamran Fakhimzadeh of the Florida University. He actually looked at this and you should be able to find some answers from what showed up in his experiments.

Now you guys have convinced me I "need" a laser engraver for my business.
The man that dies with the most toys wins, after all

I had a feeling you were onboard front the start, (or soon would be). 
Animal? Perhaps?  In the form of  the sly fox?

> So if the bees are alive when returned to the hive, what does that really mean, unless you marked them, tagged them and actually knew how old they were before being .

Good question which makes a good point  Bill. I would think the only way to verify the accuracy of this type test and resulting situation is to mark each bee as you stated. Any-thing less would be pure speculation in my opinion. I am not a bee researcher but if I was, I would think this approach would be the number one objective in receiving an >accurate< answer.
