Raw Honeycomb

The Unique Experience of Honeycomb 

​

Honeycomb is a truly special product, offering an all-natural, unprocessed way to enjoy the many benefits of honey. Unlike traditional honey that’s extracted and jarred, honeycomb honey remains within its original wax cells, preserving all its valuable nutrients, vitamins, and microelements. This method of storage not only maintains honey’s natural properties but also provides a unique and delightful way to sweeten your life.

 

How Honeycomb is Made

​

Honeycomb is created by the tireless efforts of honey bees, who construct hexagonal cells from their wax production. These bees then fill the sterile wax cells with collected and processed nectar, where it matures over time, sealed under wax caps. Before filling the cells, bees coat the walls with propolis, a natural antibacterial substance. The final stage involves capping the honey with a thin layer of wax, known as "zabrus," which is only removed just before consuming the honeycomb.

 

Characteristics and Composition

​

Honeycomb honey is not only distinguished by its natural packaging but also by its rich composition and unique aroma. The honey varies in colour, ranging from white to yellowish, and has a distinct, pronounced honey fragrance. The honeycomb also contains wax elements that add to its beneficial properties.

 

This combination of honey and wax is packed with a variety of nutrients, including:

  • Iron and copper

  • Vitamin PP

  • Proteins and ascorbic acid

  • Calcium, sodium, magnesium, and potassium

  • B-group vitamins

  • Phytoncides and enzymes

  • Sucrose, fructose, glucose, and maltose

  • Fluoride, zinc, and other trace elements

  • Pantothenic and folic acids

  • Natural antibiotic substances

  • Wax, pollen, and propolis particles

​

These components provide honeycomb honey with restorative, anti-aging, and immunostimulatory properties, making it an excellent addition to your diet for both health and enjoyment.

 

Health Benefits of Honeycomb Honey

​

The benefits of honeycomb honey extend to nearly all internal organs and systems. Regular consumption can:

  • Alleviate cold symptoms and support faster recovery

  • Cleanse blood vessels and the liver, preventing conditions like atherosclerosis

  • Improve digestion and regulate metabolic processes

  • Increase haemoglobin levels, preventing anaemia

  • Heal respiratory conditions such as coughs and bronchitis

  • Regulate blood pressure and ease issues like thrombophlebitis and varicose veins

  • Protect oral health by preventing tooth decay and gum disease

  • Support eye health and prevent loss of visual acuity

​

For men, honeycomb honey can help maintain heart health and reduce the risk of ischaemia, heart attacks, and strokes. Additionally, it acts as a natural aphrodisiac, improving sexual function and enhancing the quality of genetic material. For women, honeycomb honey helps regulate hormonal balance, supports reproductive health, and improves the appearance of skin and hair. It is particularly beneficial during pregnancy, providing essential nutrients for both mother and child.

For children, honeycomb honey boosts memory, concentration, and cognitive abilities while protecting against colds and fatigue. However, it should be introduced cautiously, only to children over the age of 3, due to the risk of allergies.

 

How to Enjoy Honeycomb Honey

​

Honeycomb honey is best enjoyed in its natural form. To maximise its benefits, chew small pieces of the honeycomb, allowing the honey to be released from the cells. The wax will turn into a dense ball, which should be spat out after chewing. This process helps stimulate digestion and ensures you get the most out of the honeycomb’s rich composition.

 

Recommended Daily Intake

​

Due to its high nutritional content, honeycomb honey should be consumed in moderation. For adults, no more than 100 grams per day is recommended, while children should limit their intake to 40 grams per day.

​

A Delightful and Healthy Treat

​

Honeycomb honey not only offers numerous health benefits but also adds a unique twist to your sweet rituals. Its light, fresh flavour directly from the hive will satisfy even the most discerning sweet tooth, providing a natural, antibacterial alternative to synthetic chewing gum. Children love its taste, and many families find it a healthier substitute for artificial sweets.

​

We hope that honeycomb honey becomes a regular part of your healthy lifestyle, offering a guilt-free indulgence that adds sweetness and joy to your day. Let this genuine, unprocessed honey bring a touch of nature’s goodness to your table, from our hive to your home.
