Q1. Isn't all Honey Pure, Natural and Unprocessed?

Yes and No. Demand and lifestyle has seen many of the commonly available Honey 's heated and blended with other floral varieities resulting in the most commonly sold Honey being Wildflower Honey. Honey that has been heated is no longer Unprocessed resulting in the many natural benefits of Honey being compromised - they no longer provide the natural healing properties they once had.

Q2. So, how do I know if the Honey I'm buying is Pure, Natural and Unprocessed ?

Western Australian native flora produces many excellent Honey's and only two of these do not crystalise (that is, harden) over time. Jarrah Honey and Blackbutt Honey are naturally very low in natural sugars which are otherwise found in higher quantities in all other Honey's from WA. It is these sugars that, over time, contribute to the Honey crystalising.
If your Western Australian Honey doesn't crystalise and it isn't either Jarrah or Blackbutt, chances are it has been processed.

If the provider of your Honey has many varieties, ask to taste the different varieties. No two Honey's taste the same but their individual color may well be very similar (if not identical)

Q3. Why do some Honey's appear much lighter than others?

The range of colour and viscosity of Honey is broad with some having the colour of water through to those resembling treacle. Salvation Jane for example is remarkably clear and light in colour yet pleasantly sweet compared to Honey from Bottlebrush varieties which produces Honey so dark in colour and strong in flavour you might think it has been blended with golden syrup.

Colour and clarity are also affected by the region in which the Honey was collected, along with the rainfall experienced in the area leading up to the flowering time as well as the soil type and condition in which the flora is growing in. Typically from season to season, Honey flavour, clarity and colour don't change too much - unless the area has experienced a substantial environmental alteration.

Q4. Is this Honey produced by the Native Australian Bee?

Whilst the Australian Native Bee do produce Honey and have been a staple for traditional Land Managers for food over many thousands of years, these Bees do not produce enough in their hives for production. Commonly Apiarists harvest Honey from the managed hives of the European Honey Bee Apis melifera. This is the common bee that some people are allergic to.
