Bees collect nectar from a single honey tree to produce up to 15 kg of honey. With 1 hectare of plantings - about one ton.

Always better fresh, not candied honey. Linden in this regard, "mediocre." By six months after pumping, it crystallizes., even under ideal storage conditions.But this does not mean that the sugared honey is just a sweet product on the table.

Hello. My question is about storage. Tell me, in violation of the tightness of the container in which the honey was stored, when in contact with air, does it lose its healing properties?
No, Olga, does not lose. Only if you heat the honey above 40 degrees.
I would like to add linden bark also healing and rich in essential oils. They are also very beneficial to human health. The oil has a firm, deep, sweet and slightly spicy aroma. Linden oil is a powerful sedative, therefore it is recommended to be used for relaxation, as a sedative for stress and emotional arousal. Regularly use instead of expensive pharmaceutical preparations
Hello. I would like to know: in the middle of March I bought chestnut honey at the honey fair. But it was in a liquid state. The seller explained this fact by the fact that this honey was stored in honeycombs and it was only recently pumped out. PerhapsIs it? Or was it not true and honey, probably, was heated?
I would really like to know, because More than once heard this version.
Sincerely, Elena.
Good afternoon, I would like to ask you about the lime honey, bought honey at the fair, stayed the night on the floor and went blistering is normal or something was added to the honey
Apologizing in advance for your concern, I will ask for the recommendations of a specialist or any knowledgeable person.
I read that the "surprisingly useful" means for cleansing the intestines is the so-called. "Honey water". The most common recipe is as follows: take a glass / mug of boiled water, dissolve a tea / tablespoon of honey in it and drink several times a day, preferably in the morning and on an empty stomach. Allegedly, such a "miracle remedy" removes all slags, fecal stones, and so forth. Disgusting, "promotes weight loss", etc.
However, it does not indicate:
1. What temperature should be boiled water? After all, it is very difficult to dissolve a tea / tablespoon of honey in a glass / mug of water in cold water in winter.
2. What kind of honey is preferable?
3. Is it fresh to take honey or sugared sugar?
four.How can you get a “30 percent solution” of honey in a glass / mug of tea / tablespoon, as practically all sites that have posted a description of this “miraculous” remedy say? Indeed, in spoons of such honey initially is much less?
