Thank goodness I have my own hives.
I get mine from the local farmers market .
ditto. I have my own hives too. In fact, my Fr nom de plume, “mieleman” means “honeyman” in Italian. The writer of this article is correct. Adulterated honey has long been a problem for American honey producers to contend with, not only economically but from a health standpoint.
Folks should try to buy honey from a local vendor and ensure the label says, “raw and unfiltered”. This also means, or it should, that the honey has not been pasteurized. Heating honey beyond 150 degrees for more than 8 minutes (some say 4 minutes)will destroy all of the beneficial enzymes, vitamins and minerals.
“Thank goodness I have my own hives.”
I feel for you. Despite my age, all I have is a few liver spots.
Anyway, knowing Europe as I do, I can bet that this is another excuse for protectionism on their part. We inspect honey too, so don’t let the foodie cultists tell you that we’re being “poisoned by everything we eat.”
We get our honey from our neighbor who has several hives. It’s raw, and contains the pollen from our own area; good for allergies I’ve heard. It tastes good, too.
You have hives? Have you seen a doctor?
I love Asian Honeys.
