TYPES OF HONEY & BEE PRODUCTS

Raw & Unpasteurized Honey

Raw or minimally processed honey retains more of its naturally occurring characteristics than heavily processed varieties.

Depending on the product, options may include:

• Raw honey

• Unpasteurized honey

• Creamed honey

• Wildflower honey

• Single-origin honey

• Organic honey

Honey naturally varies in colour, flavour, texture, and aroma according to the floral source and region where it is produced.

Manuka Honey

Manuka honey is produced primarily from nectar collected from the Manuka plant (Leptospermum scoparium) and is particularly associated with New Zealand.

It is valued for its distinctive composition and may be sold according to standardized grading systems such as MGO or UMF.

Higher numerical grades generally indicate greater concentrations of characteristic Manuka compounds, but the ideal grade depends on how the honey will be used.

Propolis

Propolis is a resinous substance produced by bees using plant materials and beeswax to help protect the hive.

It naturally contains:

• Polyphenols

• Flavonoids

• Plant resins

• Other bioactive compounds

Propolis products may be available as:

• Liquid extracts

• Throat sprays

• Lozenges

• Capsules

• Combination immune-support formulas

Royal Jelly

Royal jelly is a nutrient-rich substance produced by worker bees and used to nourish developing larvae and the queen bee.

It contains naturally occurring:

• Proteins

• Amino acids

• Fatty acids

• Vitamins and minerals

Royal jelly is available fresh, freeze-dried, or incorporated into supplements and wellness blends.

Bee Pollen

Bee pollen consists of flower pollen collected by bees and combined with small amounts of nectar and bee secretions.

It contains naturally occurring:

• Proteins and amino acids

• Carbohydrates

• Fatty acids

• Vitamins and minerals

• Plant antioxidants

Bee pollen is commonly available as granules, powders, capsules, or blended nutritional products.

HONEY FOR THROAT & COUGH COMFORT

Honey can provide a soothing coating for an irritated throat and is commonly used as part of home care for occasional coughs.

It can be:

• Taken by spoon

• Added to warm water

• Combined with lemon

• Added to herbal tea

• Used in honey-based lozenges or syrups

Honey should never be given to infants younger than 12 months because of the risk of infant botulism.

Persistent cough, breathing difficulty, high fever, chest pain, or symptoms that worsen should be medically assessed.

MANUKA HONEY GRADES

When shopping for Manuka honey, you may encounter grading systems such as:

MGO

MGO refers to methylglyoxal, one of the characteristic compounds measured in Manuka honey.

Products may display grades such as:

• MGO 100+

• MGO 250+

• MGO 400+

• MGO 500+ and higher

UMF

UMF is another grading system used for qualifying authentic Manuka honey according to specific chemical markers.

For everyday food use, a very high grade may not be necessary. Higher-grade products are generally more concentrated and typically more expensive.

HONEY AS A NATURAL SWEETENER

Honey can be used in place of refined sugar in:

• Tea and herbal infusions

• Yogurt

• Oatmeal

• Smoothies

• Baking

• Homemade dressings

• Functional beverages

Although honey contains naturally occurring compounds not found in ordinary refined sugar, it is still a source of free sugars and calories and should be consumed in moderation.

FAQ

What is the difference between raw honey and regular honey?
Raw honey generally undergoes less processing and heating, while conventional honey may be filtered and pasteurized. Processing practices vary by manufacturer.

What makes Manuka honey different?
Manuka honey comes from nectar associated with the Manuka plant and contains characteristic compounds such as methylglyoxal. Authentic products may carry MGO or UMF grading.

Is a higher MGO Manuka honey always better?
Not necessarily. Higher MGO indicates a greater concentration of methylglyoxal, but the appropriate grade depends on intended use and budget.

Can honey help soothe a cough?
Honey can soothe the throat and may help reduce cough symptoms in appropriate individuals. It should not replace medical assessment for serious or persistent respiratory symptoms.

Can babies have honey?
No. Honey should never be given to children under 12 months of age because of the risk of infant botulism.

What is bee propolis?
Propolis is a resinous material bees produce from plant substances and use within the hive. It contains naturally occurring plant compounds and is commonly available in sprays, extracts, lozenges, and supplements.

What is royal jelly?
Royal jelly is a nutrient-rich secretion produced by worker bees and used to feed developing larvae and the queen bee.

Is bee pollen the same as honey?
No. Bee pollen consists primarily of flower pollen collected by bees, while honey is produced from floral nectar.

Can people with diabetes use honey?
Honey contains sugars and can raise blood glucose. Individuals managing diabetes should account for honey as a carbohydrate source and follow their healthcare professional’s dietary recommendations.
