I have four jars of honey extracted from honey comb. These are probably two or three years old stored in the back of the pantry.
Two of them have (what looks like) tomato seeds floating in them.
I always cut and crush honeycomb, and the left overhoney comb goes into a pot to be slowly heated until melted. Once cooled, the wax plug is lifted out and the remaining dark honey is poured into the muslin wrap, and then bottled as spare honey. I don't know what this technique is called.
So two of these jars has these floating particles in it.
I have included some photos of the jars and with a strong backlight to help see better.
Then I took a sample and put it into a dish.
The last photo is the honey diluted down in the dish and the best zoom shot I could get. It definitely looks like some kind of creature.
This is incredibly fascinating, but also a little concerning.
No other jars we have (fresh crushed or melt treated) have ever shown something like this. Does anyone know what I have here?
