New Bee
Must admit this one was new to me because I always try to buy British honey from local producers (apart from the odd foray into the health food shop for Manuka)

Sidr honey has a distinctive taste, high nutrition value, and curative benefits Sidr honey comes from Sidr trees which grow extensively in Hadramot, in the Southern part of Yemen. Hadramot is considered to be the main source of the well-known and expensive honey. Honey experts have disputed about the distinctive taste and flavor of sidr honey. Some referred such taste to the nature of the soil in such area, others returned it to the nature of sidr trees, and some mentioned that such distinctive taste comes as a result of the fact that bees have to travel several miles (maybe hundreds in round trip) to extract the nectar from the sidr tree
HIGHLY POTENT - Yemeni's beekeepers who are strict in ensuring the honeys purity and potency will allow their bees to die rather than feed the bees with sugary syrup. Typically, bees of a certain hive make 37,000 trips just to make half a kilo of honey but bees fed solely on the nectar of the Sidr flower die after making about 3 trips! The weaker bees cannot withstand the potency of the nectar of this remarkable tree.
RAW & PURE - in Yemen, the method of beekeeping has always been a traditional one. No chemicals or drugs allowed (in modern agriculture, chemicals and antibiotics are widely used to control mites and other bee diseases in the hives). No machinery used. All are done using their hands, a little smoke (from dried camel skins) and knives. The honey is then poured, unheated and raw, into containers, thus preserving its vital live enzymatic constituents.
