Any *local raw honey in your diet? That is how I/we started beekeeping 18 years ago; fighting allergies, improving health through local, raw honey.
*local is considered within 150 miles (on the coast, 50 inland). Raw means unpasteurized (not heated past 120℉). nostr:note1257kh27zz7sgvunm9kf6uhjreuce4zng9edkdu4zdkq3yfh6fc9s2dvqaa
I don’t know if it strictly meets that definition of local but I buy an organic raw honey from Kangaroo Island here in South Australia. Kangaroo Island is interesting for honey as, apart from being a very clean environment away from the mainland, it is also considered a bee sanctuary having what is considered to be the most pure colony of Ligurian bees left in the world. There are several honey producers on the island but this is one of that I regularly buy from:
You sound like you’re on the right path! BTW Manuka honey from New Zealand is known as the most healing honey in the world (Manuka Honey Factor).
Yes, I’ve had Manuka honey in the past! Apparently some of the eucalyptus gum honey that we get here in Australia also have quite strong healing properties.
The Australian tea tree is where I thought Manuka originated, but eucalyptus prolly has similar taste/properties. I need to correct my earlier typo, Ligurian, not Lugurian…
I always buy local honey when I can get it. Sometimes get the honey from the local indigenous people that harvest the bees in the forest here on the island (Philippines).
If lucky we can sometimes get the honeycomb. Pura Vida 🏝️
Yes! The beeswax in honeycomb is anti- inflammatory, in addition to the pollens and healing enzymes in the honey.
