Beekeeping - Calibrating Refractometers

Today I messed around and figured out how to calibrate a honey refractometer. Do we really need to calibrate a refractometer. Refractometers are used to measure the moisture content in honey. Hi, I'm certified master beekeeper David Burns from Long Lane Honey Bee Farms and today I'll give you some tips on calibrating honey refractometers.
