What is so special about organic honey?
- In organic beekeeping, beehives are placed away from any conventional crop cultivation, at least 5 km, so the bees will not be travelling to collect nectar and pollen from such crops. Bee can travel up to 5 km to collect nectar and pollen (its food) from flowers.
- During beekeeping, the bees might acquire diseases and one of them is a parasite called varroa which can exterminate whole beehives.
In order to fight off varroa, conventional beekeeping uses super toxic chemicals such as armitraz while organic beekeeping uses oxalic acid which is an organic compound found in many plants.
- Certified organic honey does not contain GMO pollen as the beehives are not placed or used in countries where the GMO crops are cultivated. Certified organic beekeepers are checked/audited by the regulatory bodies on this strict requirement.
