Raw honey is considered one of the top super-foods on the planet. It is a complete protein and a super energy food. Raw honey has not been pasteurised, this ensures that the honey retains all of it’s nutrients. Honey bee’s work tirelessly to produce honey for you and I and one thing I feel is very important to ask when buying from a beekeeper, is, are the bee’s feed their own honey. I have heard of beekeepers that take all of the honey from the hive and feed the bee’s a sugar/water solution! To me this is totally messing with nature. The bee’s should be left enough honey to survive on, especially through out the winter. Now I know if it is a long hard winter they may run out of honey and then the beekeeper will have to intervene which is fair enough but in general it’s important to respect the laws of nature…just my opinion 🙂
Loving the videos Deborah! Quick question for you. I suffer a bit from sore throats and dry coughs in the Winter time. A health food shop assistant told me that manuka honey would steer me clear of these. Just wondering if raw honey would perform the same tricks?
I’d say either one would be good Tracey, it’s definitely worth trying it. The anti-properties of the raw honey would ease inflammation etc. You’d need to pick some up now to make sure you have it for the winter months. Make sure to take in plenty of water also. Hope this helps and I’m thrilled you’re enjoying the videos. Deb 🙂
Another fantastic and really useful video Deborah.
I completely agree with you that the bees should be left with enough honey to feed them too…..
Thank you Sinead I’m delighted you’re getting so much from the videos. It’s something I’m very passionate about, it really upset me when people mess with the laws of nature 🙁
