Okay so this Thrive Market ad...
...has been showing up on my page. I know I’ve harped on this before but.
It promises REAL RAW HONEY w/ POLLEN, PROPOLIS, and HONEYCOMB that has never been BARRELED, HEATED, or STRAINED.
POLLEN in the form of stray grains or large chunks of bee bread (fermented balls of stored pollen) might make it into the honey.
PROPOLIS shouldn’t even be in your honey. Bees use it to glue their homes together. Why are you scraping bee caulk into your honey? It doesn’t belong there.
HONEYCOMB is just wax, and it will get stuck in your molars.
BARRELED- what does this even mean?
HEATED- This can affect crystallization rates, enzymatic activity, etc. But also cuts down on pathogens. Trade-off
STRAINED- So this is the best. Part of what you inevitably end up straining out of honey is BEE PARTS. ENJOY BEE LEGS IN YOUR TEA.
