    Raw Honey

Magic of Honey aim to facilitate the procurement of a variety of extraordinary award-winning raw honeys harvested from diverse wild and pristine botanical footprints in Africa and other natural products related to the hive. The importance of safe and prosperous beekeeping methodology will be posted to help budding and matured professional beekeepers improve their beekeeping knowledge, techniques and skills whilst steering clear of costly misconceptions and mistakes.

Head Apiarist for Magic of Honey

Georges Lenferna
Georges lives and breathes honey bees. He is passionate about the variety and quality of honeys that can be produced from the diverse ecosystems of South Africa’s biospheres regions and the resilience of African Honey Bees, Apis mellifera scutellata.
Georges has been operating for several years on remote and pristine apiary sites in the wild African savanna. The wide-ranging diversity of indigenous fauna and flora is the ideal habitat for the African honey bees to forage. Georges ensures that his apiary sites are far from commercial farms and habitations to steer clear of pollution and pesticides.
Georges’ beehives have been expressly built using organic materials, free of insecticides and preservatives to emulate the perfect natural habitat of the African honey bees and to promote their inborn behaviors. Georges believes and, has proven, that the higher the diversity of the natural fauna, the healthier the bee colonies and in turn the better the quality of the honey produced. The results have been exceptional as can be seen from the list of awards won.

The Definition of Honey And its Essential Composition

Honey is the natural sweet produced by honey bees from the nectar of plants or from secretion of living plants or excretion of plant sucking insects on the living parts of plants which the bees collect and transform by combining with specific substances of their own, deposit, dehydrate, store and leave in the honey comb to ripen and mature.

Codex Alimentarius states that honey sold as such shall not have added to it any food ingredient, including food additives, nor shall any other additions be made other than honey.

No pollen or constituent particular to honey may be removed except where this is unavoidable in the removal of foreign inorganic or organic matter.

Author: Prof. Roberto L. Garcia, is working intensively on the problem of honey frauds which are happening at an alarming rate worldwide.

Types of Honey Fraud.

1. Dilution with different artificially manufactured syrups
2. Harvesting of immature honey.
3. Using ion-exchange resins to remove/reduce residues and/or lighten honey colour.
4. Masking and/or misleading the geographical and/or botanical origin of honey.
5. Artificial feeding of bees during a nectar flow.
6. Using dishonest labels to cheat customers.

Raw honey can help weight-loss efforts and also lower blood sugar suggesting that raw honey may lower serum triglycerides when compared to diets containing sugar (sucrose) and high fructose corn syrup. Raw honey can also help activate hormones that suppress the appetite, hence it can potentially have obesity protective effects.

The Top 7 Benefits of
Raw Unprocessed Honey

A Good Source of Antioxidants

Raw honey contains antioxidants called phenolic compounds. Other honeys have as many antioxidants as fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants help protect the body from cellular damage due to free radicals and loss within the brain due to hormone-related intellectual decline.

Antibacterial and Antifungal Properties

Raw honey can kill unwanted bacteria and fungus. It naturally contains hydrogen peroxide, which is an antiseptic. Several hospitals in Europe have used raw honey to fight methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a type of staph bacterial infection that’s become resistant to antibiotics.

Wound and Burn Treatment

Raw unprocessed honey is also used in medical settings to treat wounds and burns because it’s an effective germ killer. Researchers believe this is because raw honey has other antibacterial properties besides the natural hydrogen peroxide.

Filled with Phytonutrients

Phytonutrients provide both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, which help maintain good health.  Because honey is basically produced from plants, it also has phytonutrients. These valuable nutrients are unique to raw honey and disappear when the honey is heavily processed.

Help for Digestive Issues

Honey is sometimes used to treat digestive issues such as diarrhea, though there isn’t much research to show that it works. However, it’s proven to be effective as a treatment for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a common cause of peptic ulcers.

Soothe a Sore Throat

Have a cold? Try a spoonful of raw honey which is an old sore throat remedy. Try adding it to hot tea with lemon. It also works as a cough suppressant. Research shows that honey is as effective as dextromethorphan, a common over-the-counter cough medicine ingredient, in treating a cough. Just eat one or two teaspoons straight.

Diabetes Aid

Consumption of raw honey can reduce the risk of developing diabetes and aid medication used to treat diabetes.  Raw honey does not cause a sugar spike and elevated insulin release like white sugar.  The combination of raw honey and cinnamon can be especially beneficial to healthy sugar management, as well as many other health concerns like gingivitis and acne.

« The secret of successful beekeeping lies in all the small details. »

Raw unprocessed honey is unprocessed honey containing a variety of pollen, propolis, nutrients and enzymes and offers a wide range of health benefits and medical uses.

Propolis is used by bees to seal off small gaps and cracks to better insulate the hive and to prevent diseases and parasites from entering the hive.  Bees use propolis to reinforce the cells of brood combs and to embalm the dead bodies of large intruders that can’t be removed to prevent mould and bacteria growing.  It has been proven that propolis has antibacterial, antifungal, antibiotic and antiseptic properties with antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects.

Raw honey is one of nature’s healthiest food produced by honey bees from the nectar of flowers.  It has several health benefits and an amazing list of nutrients, containing 5 000 types of enzymes, 22 different amino acids, 27 minerals and several vitamins. Raw honey has been called “the perfect running fuel.”

The consumption of Raw honey is known to help with:
– Seasonal allergies, Boosting of energy, insomnia, & Boosting the immune system.

Our ancestors knew the benefits of raw honey and exploited it to its very best potential. Today raw honey is used for burns and wounds, in some hospitals.
