Description
- Honey Gardens Apiaries - Apitherapy Raw Honey Holly - 16 oz. (454 g) Honey Gardens Apiaries Apitherapy Raw Honey Holly is produced every spring in the pine forests of the US south. Holly (also known as gallberry or inkberry) covers the forest floor, and is an abundant source of forage for honey bees. Bees harvest this wild nectar from holly plants and transform it into an excellent, distinctive honey. This full flavored, raw floral honey is as clean and pure as the forests it was sourced from. Apitherapy Raw Honey Holly Features: Pure raw honey Promotes overall health Contains naturally-occurring vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and enzymes Produced from the pine forests of the US south Excellent, distinctive honey Full flavored, raw floral holly honey Apitherapy is the use of honey bee products to promote health. This term accurately describes their raw honey which contains naturally-occurring vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and enzymes. It is never heated or filtered so it contains beneficial traces of pollen, propolis and beeswax. This pure raw honey is the culmination of an incredible amount of work by honey bees. Frequently Asked Questions Why do their competitors have Organic bee products, and Honey Gardens doesn't? While a committee has been formed to develop organic honey standards, standards have yet to be formally established for other bee products - royal jelly, propolis or bee pollen. Until these standards are established, we are not comfortable labeling their products as “organic.” However, they go to great lengths to ensure their products are all natural, tested and screened as needed. This is their guarantee to you. Is it true that bee pollen is a “perfect food”? Bee pollen is not a “perfect food” since it lacks the essential vitamins D, K, and E. However, it is an excellent food source. When compared in terms of caloric equivalents to highly nutritious foods-beef, chicken, beans, whole wheat bread, apples, cabbage and tomatoes-bee pollen contains over twice the amount of iron and is one of the best natural sources of B-Vitamins Thiamine, Riboflavin, and Niacin. It also contains over 50 percent more protein by weight than beef and contains varying amounts of naturally-occurring vitamins, minerals and micronutrients that may provide nutritive support for a healthy immune system. What is the difference between raw propolis and a concentrate? Raw propolis has not been cleaned and contains 30 to 50 percent wax, an inert substance. A concentrate is heated so that the wax can be melted out. This process also helps remove heavy metals, bee parts and other extraneous material, leaving a cleaner, highly concentrated resin with all the benefits of the constituents. Propolis naturally contains resins and balsams, essential oils, and pollen as well as minerals and vitamins. It also contains naturally occurring antioxidant bioflavonoids.
