human diet comes from insect pollinated plants. You will also
find that it is honeybees that are responsible for 80% of the

Organic Honey Standards
Although these standards may change over time, here are some
common standards for honey to be classified as organic. First
the source of nectar, honeydew or pollen must be come from
organic sources. This means that the apiary must be on land that
is pesticide free. There usually needs to be a buffer zone
between the land that is used for organic honey creation and that
land where pesticides are used. Another requirement is that any
new bees that are introduced have to come from other
organically maintained hives.
3. Benefits of Organic Honey
So why would individuals want to eat organic honey and pay
more money for this product? The main reason is that they do
not to have to eat food that is potentially contaminated with
pesticides and other harmful substances. They are doing it for
their health. Also these organic honeys are free of antibiotics
that are used with to help protect normal bees from disease.
Organic honey bees do not get these antibiotics. Now you may
think, that antibiotics are not bad for use. However the ones used
for the bees are potentially bad for us. They may increase the
risk of cancer and other diseases in humans. Organic honey is
also not pasteurized. Honey has many antibacterial anti-
inflammatory properties. They also have anti-oxidants and
phytochemicals which are known to help protect the body from
cancer and other diseases. When the honey is pasteurized, many
of these properties are destroyed and the honey is not as healthy.
They also may be doing for the environment. This is because
that those same pesticides that pollute our bodies also pollute the
soil and nearby water sources. Also the organic bees are not
killed after the honey harvest as many of the normal bees are
due to the cost of keeping them alive over the winter.
So even though organic honey will likely cost you a little more
but you can feel confident that the product is generally safer
than non-organic honey and that the live beehives and their
habitat are contributing to a healthier planet.
