Details of Honey instruments Carrying Case Hanna®

Three Hanna instruments in one case for comparing honey batches: a digital refractometer, a conductivity meter and a colour photometer.

The kit brings together routine honey-room checks and the technical documentation needed to carry them out. It helps track differences between harvests and organise batches before packing or sending samples to a laboratory. Each instrument measures a different property and requires its own sample preparation.

01 · REFRACTOMETRY

Brix and moisture are different readings

The HI96801 reports °Brix. Measure a homogeneous sample, free of crystals and bubbles and equilibrated to the instrument’s temperature. In the attached “Honey moisture at 20 °C” table (PDF in Spanish), 78.4 °Brix is approximately 20.0% water and 80.3 °Brix is 18.0%. At these two points, subtracting Brix from 100 overestimates water by 1.6–1.7 percentage points and can cause unnecessary rejection or drying of a batch. As a practical storage target, aim for moisture below 18%. In Spain, Royal Decree 1049/2003 sets a general maximum of 20%, or 23% for heather honey from Calluna; baker’s honey has separate limits.

02 · CONDUCTIVITY

Preparation is part of the measurement

Prepare the IHC solution using 20 g of honey dry matter in a final volume of 100 ml. For honey at 18% water, weigh 24.39 g and make up to 100 ml with distilled water. The method’s reference is 20 °C: confirm the conductivity meter’s temperature reference before comparing results. Spain’s RD 1049/2003 specifies up to 0.8 mS/cm for blossom honeys and at least 0.8 mS/cm for honeydew honey, chestnut honey and their blends. 0.8 mS/cm equals 800 µS/cm. Exceptions are strawberry tree (Arbutus), heathers (Erica), eucalyptus, lime (Tilia), ling heather (Calluna), manuka (Leptospermum) and tea tree (Melaleuca).

03 · COLOUR

A comparable figure for each batch

The photometer reports colour in mm Pfund and uses glycerol as its reference. Use clean cuvettes and clear samples to compare batches consistently. Floral-origin assessment combines colour, conductivity, sensory profile and pollen analysis with the apiary’s flowering context.

04 · BEFORE BUYING

Build a routine for your honey room

Choose it when you use all three measurements and keep batch records. Record date, sample, temperature, instrument and result. Plan for standards and consumables, deionised water, a balance and volumetric glassware for conductivity preparation.
