Honey buy

What is honey?

A little bit information that will be of interest to those who need to buy a real, high-quality product.

Read here carefully, I quote the original language: "For good-quality honey you need to Mature in honeycombs. The highest quality obtained honey, which sealed was in the hive until the end of the season. But, unfortunately, beekeepers as a rule, do not keep so long sealed honeycomb in the hive. It has different reasons, but the main is the need to free cell for new arrivals nectar in a well bribe". (S. To. Omelaenko, "This sweet, sweet honey...").

Citing this quote, I catch myself thinking that the author of the book a few slukavil, explaining the frequent swing honey need to be fired honeycomb for a new trick. Main the reason he never called. I think it's because he doesn't want those who are engaged in honey business, broke his face, in the literal and figurative sense of the word.

"Honey" is all-in-all, a successful marketing ploy. Most honey plants, "honey" of which you offer on the market, blooming a week or two. Can bees with this nectar to make a monofloral honey if its, in a row, separated to download, almost every Sunday???

Monofloral honey exists and can be obtained, I do not deny. But in order to sit somewhere in Bashkortostan, among solid lime forest, or in Siberia, in clearings and burned areas of the forest, where flowers Ivan-tea and more – nothing but summer such a short and the vegetation is so poor that gather honey even from something - not too easy. "In the steppes of Ukraine" only blooms a lot and a little.

When the beginning of the 19th century, P. I. Prokopovich invented the world's first collapsible beehive and his ideas found practical expression in the apiary, in periodicals at that time there were criticisms that the honey from the nest boxes and decks greatly tastier than honey from the hive. The answer is simple. From nest boxes honey virtusa only once, in late summer (to Savior) and in-frame beehive beekeeper had the opportunity to climb as he pleases, selecting the cell, only brought nectar. But why wait, when bees process the nectar in honey and seal it!? Because after this will be more likely to weight one third! Who benefits? Of course – not the seller. Moreover, when in the hive appears a certain amount of honey, bees somewhat slow pace, and this is, again, not promotes plan of the shaft (or shaft plan?). The taste is something else it is the fifth. And will favor, health, healing, the effect of this "honey"?

Most consumers to taste the honey clear and transparent as the water in the stream. And this is another an unfortunate mistake when aesthetic appearance is placed above quality indicators.

Dark coloration is the existence in the product, valuable for the human body, minerals: iron, copper, manganese and others.

Than honey darker, consequently, these substances in it anymore. Also on the coloring affected by the presence in honey of organic substances of different chemical composition, which are not produced in the human body, but are essential for the exchange of substances. The most important among them are flavonoids. Their high content in food reduces the risk of coronary heart disease by 30 %. Research scientists have been proven their effectiveness in protecting against atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, slowing the progression of cancerous tumors. In addition, flavonoids have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, such good results showed the honey treatment and quick zaghouan wounds. To the above, in addition, you can remember the antioxidant effect of these phenolic compounds, that is, the ability to prevent harmful reactions with oxygen, promoting the strengthening of protective forces organism, antimicrobial effect, reducing the predisposition to thrombosis.

Decide yourself what is more important: the name, the color and consistency or properties honey, which you eat.
