Raw comb honey is food first, but honey does have real clinical research behind a few of its traditional uses. The important thing is separating those supported uses from folklore and from claims that only apply to medical-grade honey.
Ingredients
Raw honeycomb and honey from our hives. No added flavors or preservatives.
Evidence-Based & Nutritional Benefits
Throat & cough soothing. Human clinical studies support oral honey for reducing cough frequency and improving sleep during upper-respiratory infections in people over age 1.
Antioxidant plant compounds. Honey contains varying amounts of polyphenols and flavonoids from the flowers bees forage. Darker honeys often contain higher antioxidant levels, though composition changes with season and nectar source.
Trace enzymes & minerals. Raw honey contains small amounts of enzymes, minerals and other bee- and plant-derived compounds. These are nutritionally interesting, but honey is still primarily sugar and should be enjoyed as such.
Honeycomb & beeswax. The comb itself is edible and contains beeswax plus trace pollen and propolis-associated compounds. Human evidence for specific health effects from eating beeswax is limited.
Wound-healing research needs an important distinction. Medical-grade sterilized honey has evidence for certain wound-care uses under clinical supervision. Eating or applying raw table honey is not the same thing and should not be presented as a wound treatment.
🍯 How to Use
Eat it straight from the comb, spread it over toast, tuck it onto a cheese board, spoon it over yogurt or fruit, or chew the wax gently after the honey melts away.

From Our Gals
Made by the gals at Wild Indigo Forest Farm & Diagon Apiary. Color, aroma and flavor shift with bloom cycles, weather and forage because the bees are making this from a real landscape, not a recipe.
