Elderflower Herb-honey 370g
Why is it worth using elderflower herb-honey?
Elderflower herb-honey has a diaphoretic effect for colds and flu, improves metabolism, detoxifies, acts as a diuretic and an analgesic. Strengthens blood vessels. It is worth using elderflower herb-honey, to benefit not only from the precious nectar, but also from the health properties of herbs used in medicine for years, but which do not produce nectar.
Herb-honeys - what are they?
Herb-honeys are not honeys. Herb-honeys are the result of successful cooperation between bees and the beekeeper. They will not behave like our traditional honeys. The source of herb-honey is not (as in the case of traditional honey) flower nectar, but a syrup made from specific herbs. Unfortunately, not all herbs bloom (produce nectar)- thus bees are unable to produce nectar honey from them. Man, however, came to nature's aid by serving bees a nutritious and healthy herbal feed during nectar-less periods. The herbal syrup produced by the beekeeper is only processed by the bees, meaning the final product is created with the participation of these insects, but is not prepared by them from start to finish. Bees enrich the herbal infusion with their enzymes and additional nectar. Herb-honey is usually based on plants that are not honey-yielding and could not naturally be used by bees for honey production. For this reason, among others, the name "herbal honey" is not used here, as it could suggest that it was produced exactly in the same way as commonly known honeys.
This is how herb-honeysare created- combining the advantages of classic honey with the unique properties of individual medicinal herbs.
Herb-honeys - strengthening not only for bees, but also for people
Herb-honeys can be classified as health food products. They are not a medicine, but their consumption strengthens the body's natural defence mechanisms and supports the treatment of many diseases. There are many scientific sources and studies confirming the beneficial effect of herb-honeys on our health. Herb-honeys as a result of successful cooperation between humans and bees provide benefits to both parties. Herb-honeys provide a boost not only for bees during nectar-less periods, but also for us during periods of immunity drops and physical weakness.
How are herb-honeys made?
Herb-honeys are produced during nectar-less periods in the apiary. It happens that some apiaries (especially stationary ones) are exposed to a lack of forage. This is influenced by geographical and weather conditions, as well as the variability of crops used by local farmers. Although in the Lublin region, thanks to its agricultural character, there are many bee forages, it is not always possible to produce the most desirable types of honey, such as honeydew or heather honey. This is exactly why beekeepers produce herb-honeys, to be able to produce goods from the apiary with proven health effects for our body. The most common ones with proven health effects are nettle syrup, pine syrup or elderflower syrup.
Herb-honeys are made from herbal syrup- such syrup is produced from herbs that do not produce nectar, but contain valuable health ingredients by preparing a decoction of them together with sugar in a 1:3 ratio, to obtain a feed which is then given to the bees. Bees take such syrup from the feeder, add their enzymes and place it in the combs, treating it similarly to nectar or honeydew. When excess water has evaporated from the solution, the bees seal it and then the herb-honey is ready to be collected.
Are herb-honeys honeys?
Despite the similar name and the participation of bees in the process of creating herb-honeys, they cannot be called honeys, because they are not made from nectar or honeydew. Honey is a legally protected name and is reserved only for products that are created 100% by bees without human intervention.
However, it must be mentioned that many sources confirm a high content of phenolic compounds in them, which exhibit anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, and which could not be naturally obtained by bees from these plants due to their lack of nectar production.
