Does non organic honey offer hardly any nutrients or nutritional value at all?!


Question: Both organic honey and chemically managed honey have nutrients as long as they are raw (not heated to 90F). But chemically managed honey will have antibiotics and pesticides in it from the chemicals used in the hives (not the flowers the bees visit which should be pesticide and fungicide free as the chemicals do harm the bees) to fight mites, beetles and diseases

organic honey and honey offers antioxidants and good enzymic bacteria for fighting against various diseases. it is also a good alternative to processed sugar, since it is natural and easily absorbed by the body.

Honey has very little nutritional value, its about the closest thing to pure sugar in nature. The unfiltered natural stuff might have a few more vitamins and more protein from dead bees when compaired to processed stuff. Having honey be "organic" is wishfull thinking. There is no way to control if the bees go to organic floweres or not.

organic honey would seem to be a marketing ploy.i raise bees myself and determining the source of nectar would take hour by hour monitoring and even then there would be lots of variables when extracting capped off honey.honey is a basic sugar.

they got organic and non-organic honey now, what next
