types of honey
« on: January 08, 2014, 04:37:09 pm »
 Found this information on sunflower honey since this will be a primary food source for my bees in the hotter part of the year.

I read it on the internet, so it has to be true.  RIGHT??

They have enough truth and fiction on their website to make you believe what they want you to believe. Take it with a grain  "pound"  of salt, and sift through it well.

I think there is better info out there and that iddee was actually quite charitable in his appraisal!  ;D

I think from the search tags to a lot of the elements in the pages that it has been raked together by search engines and translated a few times. Singapore may be the Headquarters. The price of the honey they are selling is ~30$ a pound and the health claims are questionable. I dont think I would be sending them my name and phone number, street address and Visa#

They build a case for crystallized sunflower honey that would have a very low price in the US

A much better source would be your state ag dept., or the USDA, or about any other bee related group not looking for a direct cash profit.
