No, but good luck to them.

They come across as suspiciously keen to avoid the idea that the honey may contain sugar syrup.

Never seen this before about honey in the item description:

The easiest way to check whether honey is pure is to roll some on a cotton bud and light it. If you hear any sound (crackling, sizzling) or if it does not light, then that honey has had sugar added to it and is not pure. Most of the time it smells like cotton candy when you light it. Real honey just melts when set alight. Hope this helps some of you!

UGH!

No Way, wouldn't touch it.
"Raw Honey"?? Raw sh!t if you ask me, plus other bits and pieces as well.
Possibly some oval shaped brown things, (varoa ??) in there too.




However, (at £11 per jar) perhaps Ive missed out on a "nice little erner"!

 

[Drew]

For me that is taking "pure and untreated" a bit too far!

The honey has loads of sh*t and all sorts in it. (particularly the final photo)

You missed out on something, it is £8.49 for 700g, less than many on here are selling their honey for, nothing wrong with it whatsoever as far as i can see,athough i would have my doubts about the organic bit, if its from the address in the description.

 

[theboynelson]

To call it organic seems a bit dubious to me. I wonder if they have been assessed by the soil association and how large the organic farm is.

[jenkinsbrynmair]

They must be well trained bees to only forage on that particular farm

 

[Nic Rhodes]

I read the 700g as the weight of the glass jar and honey, i.e. postage weight, have I read wrong?

Could be Nic, maybe i read it wrong, does not appear that way from just reading the title though, but as we know it is normally the weight of honey that is being sold,not the weight of glass as well.

Wonder who will be the first to advertise their honey as freerange

 

[nosmoking]

I left a comment on a honey sellers page on A.mazon. They said their honey was organic, how can it bee? If bees forage up to 3 miles how can they say it's organic? They don't know they're 'organic bees', lol.

Organic Honey...

It is possible to approach the Soil Association to get your colonies and their honey and beeswax certified as "Organic" but its several hundred pounds and a lot of work - I know as we are seriously considering it....

Simon I'm intrigued. Even if it's possible, surely it would fail any cost/benefit analysis?

I agree and apart from the "organic" bit it's very similar to how I describe mine, even though my colonies are all on organic land.

I bet that is 700g gross, not net, as those look to be no more than half kilo jars.

Mine is free range. I gave up on pens after my first year. Far too much work...

 

[BeeJayBee]

This person is selling 'Pure, Authentic, Organic, Natural Honey' (Yemeni Sidr Honey) at £35 for 250g, plus £6.50 postage! All you can see is a plastic container.

They've actually sold some too.
