The Power of Raw Honey
Antioxodants
Rich in antioxidants: Raw honey contains a variety of antioxidants, including flavonoids and phenolic acids, which can help protect your body from cell damage caused by free radicals.
Allergy
Potential allergy relief: Consuming local raw honey may help alleviate seasonal allergies by exposing you to small amounts of local pollen, potentially building your tolerance over time.
Antibacterial & Antifungal
Antibacterial and antifungal properties: Raw honey has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties, which can help fight infections and promote wound healing when applied topically.
Nutrients
Natural source of enzymes and nutrients: Raw honey contains various enzymes and nutrients like vitamins B and C, minerals, and amino acids, which are often lost in processed honey due to heating and filtering.
How Bees Make Honey
Nectar collection:
Worker bees fly from flower to flower, collecting nectar using their long, tube-shaped tongues called proboscises. They store the nectar in their honey stomachs (or crops), which is separate from their digestive stomachs.
Nectar transformation:
While in the bee's honey stomach, enzymes begin to break down the complex sugars in the nectar into simpler sugars. This process makes the nectar more suitable for long-term storage.
Hive delivery:
The worker bees return to the hive and regurgitate the modified nectar for house bees. House bees chew the nectar, further breaking down the sugars and removing excess water.
Moisture reduction:
The bees place the nectar into honeycomb cells. They fan their wings vigorously to create airflow, which evaporates much of the water content. This concentration process turns the nectar into honey and prevents fermentation.
Capping and storage:
Once the honey reaches the right consistency (about 17-20% water content), the bees cap the cells with beeswax. This seals and protects the honey for long-term storage.
