Happy New Year to all our Locals!
Have you resolved to be mindful of your eating habits this year?
An excellent way to enjoy guilt-free sugar is to use raw honey as a sweetener.
Raw Honey comes straight from the honeycomb. It has been strained only enough to remove small bits of debris (pollen lumps, beeswax and bee bits!) but still contains plenty of pollen, propolis and anti-oxidants with all the nutrients and goodies that the bees put into it.
Processed honey is clearer than raw honey and doesn't crystallise. Raw honey can crystallise over time but you can easily fix that by warming your honey jar in water (not too hot) until the crystals melt. Some people actually prefer the crystally texture.
Bring your jar into Hive World at 16 Wall Place,, Kenepuru to fill with your choice of honey.
Taste before you buy - 5 varieties to choose from.
