In its unfiltered and unheated state, it contains vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, as well as traces
of other bee products like propolis, pollen, and royal jelly.
A very small percentage of the population is severely allergic to bee pollen (particularly those who are allergic to bees or
other bee products such as honey), so it's best to use caution when trying something new for the first time.
Most people think of honey as a delicious ingredient to add to their desserts, have in their tea or spread on a piece of toast, but did you know that honey, as well as a myriad
of other bee products, have some pretty amazing healing powers?
Some vegans, but not all of them, also abstain from honey and
other bee products, as well as clothing and materials made from animal products (e.g. silk, leather, fur, etc.).
To a greater extent than
the other bee products, it is used externally as well as ingested.
Companies specializing in honey and
other bee products can fake almost any product and you will believe the honey you are eating is real.
