Raw Honey

Our rich honey is crafted by bees enjoying the best quality of life offered by the pure

environmental conditions of Lithuania’s wild region. Humanely harvested by skilled

bičiulis, (meaning both friend and beekeeper in Lithuanian) using expertise

developed over generations of beekeepers dedicated to the natural procurement of

honey.

We at SweetHive believe our honey is some of the best nature can provide. Our

innate fascination and deep gratitude for the humble bee drives us to use only eco-

friendly beekeeping methods, this promotes the wellness of our bees while

simultaneously guaranteeing that our honey is always 100% natural, 100% nutritious

and 100% delicious.

Try it for yourself, one taste is all it takes to become a beeliever.

Why raw honey?

Raw honey naturally offers many healthful properties including the following;

High in Antioxidants – Honey works to lower your risk of chronic disease by reducing

oxidative stress. When left uncontrolled this leads to cell & tissue damage eventually

speeding the aging process.

Naturally Antibacterial & Antimicrobial – It can be used to cleanse wounds by

promoting healing and killing even antibiotic resistant bacteria. With its unique

chemical composition harmful bacteria will not grow, which means your honey won’t

expire.

Relieving Coughs – Raw honey works well in soothing coughs caused by upper

respiratory tract infections by reducing mucus secretion and creating a protective

layer in your throat.

Provides Energy – Honey is carbohydrate rich due to its fructose and glucose

content. It makes a high-powered, nutrient rich, natural energy snack.

Natural Sweetener – Raw honey is lower on the glycaemic index (GI), meaning it

raises blood sugar levels slower than sugar. This make it a good substitute for

diabetics when used in moderation.

Aids Digestion – Probiotic bacteria found in honey helps support lactic acid bacteria

in the gut, this along with various enzymes that aid in digestion can relieve digestive

problems.

Crystallization

When left in its pure form, over time raw honey will begin to crystallize. This natural

transformation takes place when the sugars in honey (glucose and fructose) bind

together and begin to form little crystals, creating a harder texture. With differing

blends, some honey will begin to crystallize faster than others.

At SweetHive, we don’t discriminate over appearance. Our belief in prioritizing

natural, great tasting honey over visual appeal means we never alter our honey in an

attempt to slow down the crystallization process.
