How can someone say it's organic honey when bees can fly
wherever they want?
First, the beehives are specifically placed in isolated areas
away from any type of contamination (golf courses, agricultural
areas, heavy traffic areas, landfills). Secondly, the flying
range of a bee is determined by their natural instinct which
tells them to stay within approximately a two mile range from
their hive location. When they fly out of this range, all sense
of direction is lost.
What
makes your honey crystallize solid?
Where and what type of plants bees forage on will determine the
nutrient level, crystallization, color, fragrance and taste. Y.S.
beekeepers have the true knowledge of quality. The results
produce a superior, energy packed (intense crystallization)
honey with the highest possible levels of live enzymes,
vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and healing agents as a
functional food. Only truly raw state honey that has never been
processed will crystallize with intensity and has full
beneficial properties nature intended.
