We greatly value and dedicate a significant amount of our free time to caring for our bees. It brings us immense satisfaction to witness the happiness and strength of our bee colonies, as they produce an abundance of delicious honey.
When it comes time to harvest the honey, we always prioritise the well-being of our bees by ensuring they have plenty of honey left for themselves. This increases their chances of survival during the harsh winter months. The honey we collect is strictly surplus.
GLUCOSE OXIDASE
In May 2025 our honey passed the Glucose Oxidase test with very high results. You only get high results from 100% raw, untampered honey. Honey that comes direct from the hive.
How Glucose Oxidase Works
Glucose oxidase is a bee enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of glucose to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and gluconic acid. This enzymatic reaction is crucial because hydrogen peroxide is a potent antimicrobial agent that can inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, and viruses. The presence and activity level of glucose oxidase in honey are indicators of its medicinal properties.
When honey is consumed and diluted with water, glucose oxidase is activated, leading to the production of hydrogen peroxide. This reaction affects the conditions within the human gastrointestinal tract, where honey’s therapeutic effects are most potent.
