Honey has been used for its medicinal properties for a millennia. All that is said about Manuka honey is anecdotal at best, as we have seen no facts to back up the producers claims of its power over and above any other regular type honey. AND then they try and sell it at Costco for an overly exorbitant price as if its medicinal properties have been proven. Humans will buy into any BS that seems even half way true, but when they want us to spend that kind of money for a small amount, they had better prove those claims. We cannot and should not claim it as a neutricutical unless the facts can substantiate it.

We use Medihoney at the hospital to treat chronic dry wounds. It keeps them hydrated without allowing bacterial growth. It’s made from manuka honey.

I will start my bee keeping as soon as viable in Ventura County, CA. I will have the hives among 500 avocado trees, what can I expect in terms of honey taste? thank you for any tips to get the best pollen for my future ladies, and the best tasting honey for my family!

Recently had some Raspberry honey. What a surprise flavor with a little tanginess.

Our 2009 harvest had the distinct flavor of the smell of attar of roses! We think it’s because our lone colony was visiting all the wild roses in the field behind our home. Unfortunately, the next year they went for the more abundant honeysuckle and, although the flavor was rich and delightful, it was no match for the “rose” honey.
