I don't know if anyone can answer this for me, but the only local honey we can find here is unfiltered. What does that mean? I used it in my tea until I got down to the bottom. I put it in the microwave for 10 seconds to soften it and right after I drank my tea I broke out in hives. I know it had to be from that. The only other honey I can find is clover honey. Is that any good?

Unfiltered honey is raw honey. The only reason for the hives is if you were allergic to whatever the bees were eating.
Processed honey has less nutrients in it, but it is still good honey, better than sugar.
Clover honey is good honey.

The closer to home you can find it, the better it will be. Buy U.S. If you have a farmer's market close by, get it there. It will be even better still.

I have a variety of honeys (honies?) at my local farmer's market. Cranberry blossom, blueberry blossom, clover, etc. (I'm between the South Jersey and Lancaster county farms).
My mom once had a reaction to a honey I got for her, too. As soon as she stopped using it, she was fine.
Phyllis is right, it's whatever the bees had. (it's not you, it's them!)
Have fun testing new ones, Janet, you'll find something! |
