It is " possible " to mix glycerine with ex- tracted honey, but it is not done, because it is not profitable to do so—and all adultera- tors look out for that; that is their prime Incentive. Glycerine is worth three or four times as much as extracted honey, and you may as well talk abo>it adulterating silver by putting " pure gold " into it, as to tbiuk of adulterating honey with glycerine 1 I Since the Wiley lie about comb honey was published as a " scientiflc pleasantry," every editor, author, and correspondent seems to have a "license" to add more lies about honey to the large stock already published. They will go so far as to even intimate that honey is made as a whole from glycerine and other ingredients, flavored with essen- tial oils. The fools never stop to think that this "stuff " would cost three or four times as much as the pure, unadulterated, ex- tracted honey could be purchased for I These fellows lie out of whole cloth when the truth would serve them far better I Bee>Keeping In Rusala, says Ben : Perley Poore in the American Cultivato
