Focus enough of the heat from the back of a refrigerator into a container which holds a honey bowl. This would solve the problem of hard honey in the winter.

don't use a bird feeder to store your honey http://smc62.smugmu...y/643883/1/27508813

       Put it on top of the fridge. Plenty of heat there, usually.

       I keep my Hunny in a plastic bottle in the dog's bed, since he is the closest thing to a bear to which I have access.

       Top of the fridge doesn't cut it for me. Tried that [Una]

       Wow! It's gonna be an uncomfortable winter, I guess.   

       Here goes... try smearing it on your body. if you're cold enough for the honey to go hard then rigor mortis is about to do the same for you.

       mmmmm a hard honey.

       I keep my honey on top of my CPU. Plenty of warmth there.

       I'd rather be smearing the honey on a significant other. There is my solution. Warm the butter on her belly and the honey...oh, but who is it going to be?:(

       I just boil a little extra hot water when making tea, then I immerse the honey container into it for a few seconds and Viola! Runny Honey!

       That is a lovely photo [po], well found.

       The idea is so-so, but I'm giving it a vote purely on [po]'s link. It's been five minutes and I'm still laughing.

       how does one focus refrigerator heat? surely lenses work best with radiant light ie suns and ants.

       If it's that cold in your house, would your refridgerator even be running?   

       One does not focus heat unless it's radiant heat. The delta-T behind the refrigerator is not likely to be focusable. If you can find a neat way to violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics, I'll read that as a separate idea.
