Honey The Way Bees Made It!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
Much of the honey found on your supermarket shelves has been processed by large distributors in ways that alter key properties found in honey right out of the hive. In other words, it is NOT raw honey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Raw honey is honey just the way the bees made it. It is unpasteurized and unfiltered honey. Though strained to remove large particles, raw honey is not finely filtered. Without significant heating and fine filtering, the chemical composition of the raw honey is unchanged, leaving its beneficial elements intact.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Comb honey, taken intact from the hive, is the ultimate form of raw honey<\/strong>. Honeycomb is simply cut from the frame. Nothing is removed or processed. Comb honey has any wax, pollen, propolis, and bee parts (yes, bee parts) that the colony may have enclosed in the cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
