ORIGIN

Raw honey is one of the oldest known foods in the world. It has been used since the beginning of time and is often mentioned in the Bible and other historical writings as sacred because of its healing properties. Raw honey has also been widely used in various cultures around the world and has held important roles in culinary, medicinal, and religious traditions. Beekeeping dates back to at least 700BC. Honey has been found in ancient writings throughout various cultures, including the Sumerian and Babylonian cuneiform, the Hittite code, and ancient Egyptian and Indian writings. Centuries ago honey was used for both medicinal and cosmetic purposes. Honey was also used regularly during the embalming process. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from one flower to another. This is critical to fruit and seed production and is often provided by insects and other animals on the hunt for nectar or pollen. Bees and other insects provide pollination services for over three-quarters of the staple crop plants that feed humankind and for 90% of all flowering plants in the world. Busy honeybees collect nectar and pollen from flowers and bring it back to the hive. The bees collect the nectar from the flowers in their stomachs and then bring it back to the hive and regurgitate it. Then the honey is stored in wax honeycombs. When bees are kept for honey production, beekeepers encourage an overproduction of honey so that there is enough for human beings and bees. There are three different forms of honey known as comb honey, liquid honey, and cream honey. Raw honey is honey that has been unprocessed, unfiltered, unpasteurized, and unadulterated. This ensures that it still contains the pollen, enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Unprocessed honey in its raw living form is a miracle from God and the earth. Honey has saved human life during drastic times of starvation and it will become critical again in the future as a food for our survival and as one of the foods that heals. This wild healing food really is nectar. It is liquid gold that can turn your life around.
