I just found your blog and I'll have to look around, you have lots of interesting stuff here.Traceehttp://mrsedsresearchandrecipes.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446114814668752328.post-1354760995537931552010-03-06T12:02:13.836-05:002010-03-06T12:02:13.836-05:00My vegetarian husband and I are building our first...My vegetarian husband and I are building our first bee hive right now and hope to have honey this summer. Our honey will merely be strained. <br /><br />But our honey will NOT be organic because we can not control what flowers the bees visit, whether it is plants that have been sprayed or not. I would be curious to know how organic honey is 'made' - do they corral their bees somehow? I haven't looked into this...did you come across anything about this in your research? My husband will be starting his bee class in a few weeks so I will have him ask.Reneenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446114814668752328.post-20764505690336492782010-03-03T14:42:59.179-05:002010-03-03T14:42:59.179-05:00This girl does her research!!!

That's hard to do, esp. when you've got all this scientific terminology happening.<br /><br />My POV on honey is - if it's not raw or organic - I don't bother. Even that 365 brand stuff is not worth it to me. It tastes different than the raw and organic honey. That leaves me skeptical about its processing and validity.<br /><br />Real raw organic honey tastes like icing. It's heaven! There's something sharp and yucky about the processed kind to me. I just don't like it.<br /> <br />Oh and by the way - honey eating vegan here. We're called "beegans." :)Farty Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18395840519336226791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446114814668752328.post-81326735193559525202010-03-02T22:52:11.577-05:002010-03-02T22:52:11.577-05:00Cool post Jen!

I don't know if the honey I get is specifically organic - it's not marked that way, but since I get it from our organic meat CSA, I'm guessing it's probably pretty close to organic. I'm definitely going to ask about their farming method when I have our next pick-up.Jenn Sutherlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07893324648208270313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446114814668752328.post-38026941910081989062010-03-01T19:29:12.037-05:002010-03-01T19:29:12.037-05:00Great information (as always) I use honey often fo...Great information (as always) I use honey often for my sweetener so I'm happy to now know more about the process.
