  • NOTE: At this time, we do not sell honey online (thank you for asking). I found a great story on heating Honey, Follow this link:
    beekeepclub.com/heating-honey/
    In this video, we explain the differences between RAW and Store Bought or Ultra-Processed honey (Please take the time to read the article in the link below, very informative). The store bough honey all taste the same. Local honey has unique flavors you will NOT find in store bought corporation honey. Always, if you can, buy from a local beekeeper. You support a declining business and helps support a local person or small business. Good article to read:

      Plus back in the day before industry, honey was considered a panacea because they'd have the nutrients from all the medicinal flowers in your local area, and the blend of those flowers would be uniquely tailored for your lifestyle (when lifestyles had more to do with your environment).

    Thank you for the great video! It’s always nice to see someone getting the info on honey out there to the general public. As this is my first year as a hobby beekeeper, I have learned a lot. And I will have to say that not all honey straight out of the hive is cloudy. I was fortunate enough to harvest 43 pounds from my 3 hives last month. And it is crystal clear. I scraped it straight off the frames, through a strainer to catch most of the wax and right into a 5 gallon bucket. From there straight into the jars. 😋 Keep up the great work!

    • @technician775
      @technician775  4 года назад +8

      Good to see a new beekeeper!!!...our bees must be messy!...most all of our honey had some cloud to it, some more than others, but our area has tons of pollen they bring in everyday. We harvest frames from the brood area as well as the honey supers. The honey supers are very clear honey but we blend it all just so locals can get some of the pollen for the allergies. We are going to go into more beekeeping videos on hive box materials and hot wax dipping of wood ware as well. If we can help you any, please le us know. what area of the US are you in???

The liver gets overloaded with fructose and is forced to turn it into fat ( 4 , 5). Some believe that this is the main process behind sugar's harmful effects on health. It increases abdominal fat and liver fat, which leads to insulin resistance and various metabolic problems. Insulin resistance causes the body to not be able to remove glucose from the cells and if the cells do not remove glucose from the blood, the body will store it in the tissues as fat.

    • @technician775
      @technician775  3 года назад +19

      Hi, not sure if you will find that exact term, but unfiltered is close to what the beekeeper is trying to say. All honey processing will go thru a type of "filtration" of sorts. We have to be able to separate the bee parts and bits of wax. Most use a clarification stage, the honey is left for a bit for the wax and debris to float to the top and it is pumped or drained from the bottom, then it is run thru a rough or very porous filter media, kinda like being strained vs a very fine mesh. We use a filer media that lets the pollen go thru but stops the bits of wax. I hope this helps. Just look for unfiltered, this is common in the honey world. Steve

    • @immortalsofar5314
      @immortalsofar5314 3 года назад +9

      "Raw honey" is what to look for. All honey is rough filtered (we used cheese cloth) to remove wax caps, stray grubs and whatever else might be on the frame. Commercial keepers have to heat it to a certain temperature despite its antibacterial properties but local, small scale keepers take it from the frame to a bucket and the bucket to the jar. We used to sell our surplus for $10/jar (and demand always outstripped supply) just to cover what we had to buy to look after the hives. Also, we left them 2 deeps plus honey-bee-healthy cakes to see them through the winter naturally. We had happy bees and you could taste the difference!

    It absolutely does pretty much cure allergies to grass and pollens in you area. I had issues until I was in my 20s when a guy at a local country store told me about eating a table spoon of local honey every day. it makes sense because the honey is exposing you to tiny amounts of pollen from plants in the area and if you take allergy shots supposedly it's exposing you in a similar way to build immunity to what ever you are allergic to.

    • @technician775
      @technician775  3 года назад +6

      Hi, you are welcome!.....and should be good honey..........honey can be from a very light color to an almost black color. Depends on several factors, 1., the nectar and time of the year, spring is a light and beautiful honey, close to the end of summer or into fall here, it will be a darker color and very strong flavor. if the beekeeper uses a dark pulled comb frame for the bees to store honey in, the honey will pick up some of the dark colors of the wax or some of the pollen etc. Usually a light honey is light on the flavor profile, a dark honey has a strong taste. Different people like it for different reasons. We have customers who will ask for a specific flavor profile, if we can we will. Hope this helps ! A local beekeeper is usually your best bet for a really good pure all natural honey...... Steve

Biggest difference in the taste is due to the flowers the nectar is from. I don't know which type of nectar contains the most nutrition. If I had my choice, I would choose honey from local wild flowers, because I would guess it is more nutritious. Just a guess. Sourwood honey is very popular in N.C.

      It sounds like it, not sure where it was sourced and processed...but if it has bits of pollen, i guess you could assume it is pure, but do some research... TY!
