Guest guest Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 There is a man who keeps some of his bees on property that is legally owned by the town, but it's like RIGHT BEHIND our compost pile. Anyway..he " processes " his honey by centrifugal force...would that be considered raw since he doesn't cook the water out???? Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 Hi, I'm new to this site, but I feel I can answer your question. Yes, that would be raw honey. All honey is extracted from the comb using centrifugal force. The comb is de-capped. Then the frames are put into a large extracting tank on their sides. They are then spun and the honey is flung out of the comb. This all goes to the bottom of the tank where it is then strained (usually through cheesecloth or netting) and jarred. There is not heat treatment at all. I speak from experience. My husband has been a beekeeper for years! --- In , " Marie P " <pollard@v...> wrote: > There is a man who keeps some of his bees on property that is legally owned by the town, but it's like RIGHT BEHIND our compost pile.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 I ues a honey called organic honey from the melaluca tree, my guess is it is raw, also it is very dark and very good, i too am new to this board, so just my obersvation on honey. One other thing i know that honey is a complete food, so i know it also has all the minerals, vitamines, etc., in it, as long as it is not pastureized.........steve >From: " Marie P " <pollard@...> >Reply- >< > >Subject: Re: Re: question about raw honey >Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2004 08:33:01 -0700 > >Thanks !!! >marie > > Re: question about raw honey > > > Hi, I'm new to this site, but I feel I can answer your question.
