Got Brix?

I have been confident in our high desert honey and its low moisture moisture content, but was always curious.  I had thought that a serviceable refractometer was $200.00.  WRONG   I just received a unit from an EBAY store National Industrial Supply and like it very much.  I thought I would pass along that link.  Cost $60.00 and $8.00 shipping which was not the cheapest, but not high end lab quality either.  It measures water % in half percent increments which is more than I need.  Nice heavy feel, seems well built and will be a pleasure to pass along to kids or grand kids with bee hives and well used wooden soap molds when I pass over the fence to better pastures!

Oh, sampled both harvests and it was at 16.5%  That'll work.
