A message to you from Ramon and Begona - producers of raw & pure honey for the Raw Honey Shop

November 5th 2014, day four of my trip.
I am in Spain at the moment visiting Ramon and Begona and later some of the other beekeepers we get honey from.
This is them in this short video. We first discovered their honey back in the 1990s, later we went on to start selling it. Ramon wanted to record a short video message for everyone who has bought or is thinking of buying their honey. Ramon and Begona's bees produce very fine honey, which they ensure remains in its natural state. They are producers, extraordinaire, of raw and unprocessed honeys - about 14 varieties in all. You can see these different types of honey here if you are interested. Ramon is taking me around his hives and I will show you in the next few days what I discovered about Oak honey, which completely surprised me.
Naturally, there’s a lot of talk about Manuka – but Manuka isn’t the only active honey type you can use as part of your armory to aid the fight against coughs and colds. You can also use dark tree honeys – which tend to be more effective against sore throats and coughs than lighter flower honeys. The Raw Honey Shop specialises in bioactive honeys from small scale artisan beekeepers, whose bees create potent honeys from trees growing on wild mountains and deep in ancient forests, far from human activity.
Three generations of beekeepers have produced Luisa's Wilderness Honey Gift Box - some of the most beautiful Organic honeys from Asturias, northern Spain. Olaya talks about their approach and their passion for working in a way that respects nature, producing honey that is raw, organic, and packed with life. Asturias, with its rugged mountains and thick forests, is perfectly suited to beekeeping. The family keep their hives high in the mountains, and each member plays their part.
Raw Organic Acacia Honey is a real Hungarian specialty, as there are more Acacia Forests in Hungary than the rest of Europe combined. It has a relatively low glycemic index, therefore it is more suited for those who can be sensitive to sugar for different reasons. This also means the honey stays in a pristine-looking, runny state for a long time, like a clear liquid gold.
This catalogue is packed with exceptional finds that we have discovered on our Raw Honey travels over the last year. The aim is to bring you some of the best honeys you'll ever taste including gift sets which are perfect for sharing the wonders of raw honey with family and friends.
