Honey has been known and appreciated in a variety of ways for centuries, as a natural product with medicinal qualities and culinary applications, and for its presumed health benefits. However, honey is not created equal. At Shiva Organic, we are dedicated to offering honey that is not only pure, but also sustainably sourced too. BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THE BEST HONEY IS THAT WHICH FLOWS FROM A SOURCE THAT RECOGNISES NATURE AND THE CONSUMER!! This is why we are focused exclusively on Bee Box Honey.
What is Bee Box Honey and why does Shiva Organic provide Bee Box Honey as opposed to another source? Let us examine the differences.
What Is Bee Box Honey?
Bee Box Honey is produced by harvesting honey from bee boxes that are maintained appropriately rather than using industrial and commodified mass production systems for honey extraction. These types of honey boxes provide a natural and unstressed environment for bees to produce honey without the added hornet's nest factor of trucks of honey boxes being moved around year after year. When bees are extracted or produced three to four times their normal capacity in a year, they are often fed synthetic sugars or corn syrup if there is not a special state/FDA approved pull-back or additive for antibiotic food producing insects such as commercial honey and honey production.
By production in moderation, Bee Box Honey is produced in a better and cleaner way with honey-producing colonies that then can fill and utilize their food closed system (of honey/wax). The Bee Box method also stabilizes the beekeeping economy while allowing for a natural honey production system. It preserves honey sustainably, but also provides a natural and balanced ecosystem for bees and environment conservation.
Why Shiva Organic Chooses Bee Box Honey?
THIS IS WHERE ETHICS MEET AUTHENTIC!!
We've committed ourselves at Shiva Organic to the purity, sustainability, and authenticity of the products we offer. We deliberated on the focus of our farm, and we have decided to commit to Bee Box Honey because of the following reasons:
1. Superior Purity and Quality
Bee Box Honey guarantees purity! The honey is raw (not processed in any way), and contains no artificial substances- it just as nature intended - safeguarding its native enzymes, pollen, antioxidants, and antimicrobial effects – honey that is both delicious and good for your health!
2. Ethical Beekeeping Practices
Commercial honey production frequently involves unethical treatment of the bee colonies, which may include overharvesting honey and/or pollination, feeding bees artificial sugar-replace foods, and using harmful chemical pesticides, all of which minimize bee colonies and have detrimental effects on their ecosystems, against a backdrop of declining bee populations affected by climate change.
Shiva Organic takes seriously the guarantee that Bee Box Honey is all harvested in the spirit of caring, ethical practices of beekeeping. The health of the bee is the top priority for our beekeepers, and care is taken to not overwork, or exploit beehives, resulting in a far more sustainable and humane method of honey production.
3. Helps in Sustainable Bee Migration
We do take bee boxes to individual orchards for nectar honey, but during migration we feed bees their own honey and bee pollen so that they can stay on their natural diet. This way they will stay healthy and strong during the transitioning process. We do not believe in feeding bees artificial sugars like commercial migrators. We prefer a natural, healthy and sustaining method instead. This is what makes us different!
4. Richer Nutritional Profile
Bee Box Honey is raw and unprocessed, so it contains more vitamins, minerals and enzymes than any regular honey. The special nutrients in Bee Box Honey can provide a wide range of health benefits:
-
It can boost immunity due to its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties
-
It can support digestion due to its gut health promoting factors when used as a side sweetener
-
It can present natural energy due to unprocessed sugars that provide sustained energy with no artificial spikes
-
It can heal wounds and soothe sore throats due to its natural antibacterial factors.
By providing Bee Box Honey at Shiva Organic, we are ensuring that you get the full health benefits from honey, nature's best sweetener.
5. Helps in Bee Conservation and the Environment
Bees are important in pollination and play an essential role in food and biodiversity all over the planet. Climate change, habitat loss, and industrial farming approaches are resulting in declining populations of bees. A Bee Box Honey program provides bees with good management and a controlled and healthy system and serves to manage the populations of their hives and stability of ecosystems, but also provides a better food product for consumers and a better environmental approach for sustainability.
6. Authentic Taste and Aroma
Bee Box Honey's flavor is more genuine and better than honey produced by commercial processes. Since the honey is harvested naturally, it retains unique floral notes from the area in which it was harvested. Each batch will have a different flavor depending on the flowers visited by the bees and is a real treat for honey lovers everywhere.In mass-produced honey, the honey tastes more sort of the same, as it is essentially pasteurized and processed honey, so Bee Box Honey provides a real honey experience.
AND WHY SHIVA ORGANIC DOES NOT DO HIVE HONEY?
We have established that Shiva Organic does bee box honey only, but let’s also understand why we are absolutely against hive honey! At Shiva Organic, we prioritize sustainability and ethical beekeeping practices. Therefore, we do not take honey from wild hives. We use Bee Box Honey where we are confident the bees are kept in a managed, healthy environment that does not overstress or harm them. With wild hive honey, the bees are disturbed and often displaced when honey is taken, compromising their natural conditions. By navigating our honey collection process, we allow the bees to carry on their natural process, free from stress.
