It sounds very interesting. Do you have honey-based or beekeeping-based experiences in Italy? Perhaps with local farmers?

I apologize for the confusion. This is practical situation. Generally when I put a jar of honey in a pot of hot water, the hot water temperature lowers quite quickly. By starting out at approximately 110F, the temperature of the water comes down and the temperature of the honey comes up. My intention was not to suggest heating the honey above 95F, but if you have hotter water it will get to 95F more quickly.

If you can maintain the water temperature, then heating the hot water to 95F would be best, then waiting until the honey liquified.

But to be completely safe, just use crystallized honey. Many honeys have quite a nice crystallized consistency.

I believe this refers to the work done by Dr. Anne Maurizio to help identify botanical origins of honey by separating pollen content density of honey into five classes:

I less than 2,000 pollen grains;
II = 2,000–10 000 pollen grains/g;
III =10,000–50,000 pollen grains/g;
IV =50,000–100,000 pollen grains/g;
V greater than 100,000 pollen grains/g

I am glad it worked so well! The ability to keep the wound moist (perfect for eyes and burns) and the antibacterial power helping the body do it’s job is quite a combination.

(I was Googling a way to buy direct from beekeepers which is how I found your site- thanks for the contact info. Brilliant help.)

I wouldn’t mind spending some time in Sardinia myself. And what better way to learn about any country than to hang out with beekeepers! I’ve never asked for a beekeeping job whilst chatting with beekeepers around the world, but I am going to keep that in mind for the future. My prospects would not be very good I’m afraid. My beekeeping skills are purely on the level of an enthusiastic hobbyist.

Enough about me! After a little research, I found an opportunity for you to get work beekeeping in Sardinia.

This gentleman needs help for ongoing projects related to the management of apiaries on his property in Sardinia!

From their website, “Workaway.info is a site set up to promote fair exchange between budget travellers, language learners or culture seekers and families, individuals or organizations who are looking for help with a range of varied and interesting activities.”Workaway is an online service that helps connect people who are willing to work for their room and board and people on farms”

While working here, your room and board would be covered by bartering your time helping with the apiary! Meanwhile, you would be able to look for other beekeepers who may have employment opportunities for people with your expertise.
Good luck!
