Sourced in Lithuania
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.
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.
