Glucose oxidase isn't active in ripe honey — there's not enough water for it to work properly.

葡萄糖酸在熟蜂蜜中并不活跃，因为其中并没有足以让其正常工作的水。

And bacteria hate glucose oxidase because it produces two different compounds.

细菌最讨厌这个，因为它能产出两种化合物。

The second thing, is that when bees make honey, they throw in an enzyme called glucose oxidase.

第二点，当蜂蜜产蜜的时候，它们会向其中加入一种叫做葡萄糖氧化酶的酶。

But if you dilute honey, the glucose oxidase will switch back on and make gluconic acid again.

但是如果你稀释一下蜂蜜的话，葡萄糖氧化酶又会切换到制造葡萄糖酸的工作状态。
