Abstract
A preliminary report on the yeasts found in honey shows that yeasts capable of fermenting an 80% solution of honey can be found on all parts of the bee and in the honey sack. Also, that similar yeasts occur in the pollen stored within the hive and that a single yeast capable of fermenting honey has been taken from the skin of grape. Attempts to find these yeasts on other fruits were unsuccessful.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
