This info on "real" raw honey and the list of sources is just
invaluable...thank you. Would someone care to say the benefits
of raw honey, and how it is used with kefir?

Dear Kareemah,

The difference between raw honey and really raw honey: Really Raw Honey is
the brand name for a raw, unheated honey. (Because heating destroys
enzymes, this honey is important for people who want help with their
digestive processes and blood sugar levels.) Most beekeepers heat the honey
to aid filtering. Also, many smoke the hives to sedate the bees before
removing the honey. Ask your bee keeper if he does either of these things.
Ask him if you can get honey from him before he filters it. Otherwise, here
are some sources for raw, unheated honey:

Hello Brenda;
What is the difference between raw honey and really raw honey? I get my
honey from a bee keeper, and he says it's raw. However I know the thick
honey you mean. I have seen it before, but mine is not that thick. Why is
that if it is raw? How did you manage to get this Really Raw honey?
