Ensuring the highest quality
The local business owner explained: “We don’t treat our honey, we don’t heat it and nothing is added therefore, it’s as natural as possible.
“Many people take honey as a sugar substitute, adding heat to honey could potentially burn the vitamins and nutrients and you might want to take in that form. Therefore, The Finest Honey is the best quality as it’s in its rawest form.”
“Our intention was only ever to ensure that we carried out ethical beekeeping and the bees had enough. We agreed to take only the surplus to share with the community.”
