All natural raw honey from a local multi-flower bee farm from Palawan.
To test if the honey you purchased is real honey and not contaminated with sugar water, you can transfer some amount into a freezer bag and freeze the honey. If it holds the same consistency, then you've got yourself an all - natural honey.
Also, the honey should have a waxy feel in you mouth. That is also one way to tell that you have a natural honey.
We have known the bee farm owner since 2006. This honey has undergone laboratory test for its authenticity.
Honey is known to have health benefits. When you research about honey, you will know how healthy it is to consume some.
Let us support our local farmers, let us buy local.
Re: "Organic" honey, the term organic seems more like a marketing strategy than a fact. "Organic" standards around the world vary. Even in France where they are promoting being organic, they allow copper sulfate and pyrethrins which are pesticides, but they still call it "organic". Locally, there is no government body that establishes which is organic. What we have is an independent organization that is not regulated by the government.
Bees cannot be controlled they go and pollinate. If the adjacent farm is not organic, then most probably the bees will carry traces of chemicals from the other farm. If any of those chemicals are toxic or has pesticides, it could kill the entire hive.
With us, we don't use the word "organic" for honey because honey is by default, natural.
However, some bee farms cheat by putting sugar water right next to the hives. so one way to ensure that your honey is real, you have to check that your honey has pollen. This is proof that the bees actually pollinated some flowers.
