How can Healing Honey be organic? Don’t the bees fly anywhere they want to?
We go to great lengths to produce our 100% certified organic manuka honey. The range of bees is about two to three miles from their hives in any direction. Our hives are intentionally located within a pristine nature preserve in New Zealand, more than 25 miles from even the closest road, house, or human activity, and far from any possible contamination that would compromise the quality of the honey. Each of our hives is visited by organic inspectors and is verified to be certified organic. To ensure our honey is pure, after every harvest, Healing Honey is meticulously tested to verify that it is free of over 160 possible chemical residues. Any honey that isn’t certified organic is highly suspect for a large number of chemicals. Many people spray flowers with chemicals, and wildflowers often grow in areas that have previously been contaminated by toxic chemicals. When the bees take nectar out of the contaminated flowers, they end up bringing those toxic chemicals into the hive.
