THE UNTOLD HONEY STORY

Due to its high value, honey has unwillingly becomes one of the most adulterated product in the world. Honey, an originally natural food product from bees consuming tree nectars to produce food for their young and queen, due to its high demand and high price has now become a high yield production scheme, where (out of flowering season) bees are forced fed white sugar or sugar syrup to maintain high yield honey production. These will in turn taint the honey with sugar syrup

There are two ways that honey may become adulterated:

  • Honey is directly mixed with liquid sugar, which is the worst case, because honey does not go through the bees digestive system and are missing the enzymes or bacterias that exist only in honey bees stomach. Honey is not procured from tree nectar, will means honey does not posses minerals, complex enzymes, and polyphenols which tree nectars have.

  • The lesser but more commonly done are when bees, who are intended by nature to procure fresh tree nectars were fed with white sugar or sugar syrups in the bees apiary. These resulted in honey that are high in sugar, but low in natural enzyme that occurs only in nectars of a tree.

WHY?

The reason why bees apiary do this is because of the limited amount of nectars available in year long. Can you imagine an apiary that only operates 3 months during flowering season, and closes for the other 9 months? These are why feeding white sugars/sugar syrup to bees have become common methods.

WHY ACACIA CRASSICARPA?

  • ACACIA CRASSICARPA is one of the rare tree that has Extrafloral Nectaries, which means they have Nectar all season year long.

These all-season flowing nectars will guarantee the availability of nectars even during NON-FLOWERING season. This guarantees that we will never need to provide sugar for our bees for honey production purposes

Raw honey is a natural, unprocessed sweetener harvested straight from the beehive. Unlike processed honey, which may undergo heating and filtering, raw honey retains all of its natural enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it a true powerhouse of nutrition.

With its rich, golden hue and distinct floral aroma, raw honey offers a depth of flavor that varies depending on the nectar source. From delicate floral notes to robust and earthy undertones, each batch of raw honey captures the essence of the flowers and plants visited by the bees.

This pure honey is free from additives, preservatives, or artificial ingredients, making it a wholesome choice for those seeking natural sweetness. Its raw state preserves its beneficial properties, including antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory qualities, which may support overall health and well-being.
