Local raw honey provides significant health benefits.

 Local raw honey provides significant health benefits.

Source Locally: 

Purchase raw, unpasteurized honey from a local beekeeper within a few miles of your home to ensure it contains the specific pollen causing your allergies.
Consume Daily:

Take one to two tablespoons daily, starting several weeks before allergy season begins, to build up immunity.
Avoid Heating: Do not heat or pasteurize the honey, as this can destroy the pollen and nutrients that may help.
Method: Consume it straight, mix it into tea (ensure it is not boiling hot), or spread it on food.

Key Considerations and Facts

    Scientific Evidence is Mixed: While some studies indicate mild, short-term relief, many scientific reviews find little to no significant difference in allergy symptoms compared to a placebo.
    The Type of Pollen Matters: Bees typically collect heavy, sticky pollen from flowers. However, most seasonal allergy symptoms are triggered by lightweight, airborne pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds, which bees do not commonly collect.
    Safety Warning: Never feed raw honey to infants under one year old due to the risk of botulism.
    Not a Replacement:

 Local honey should not replace professional medical treatment for severe allergies.

While scientific backing is limited, using local, raw honey is a generally safe, natural, and tasty way to try to manage mild, seasonal allergy symptoms.

  Tampa Gold Honey,Local Honey rich with Pollen

Tampa Gold Wilderness Local Honey is renown for its unique flavor and superb quality.


This owes much to the placement of our beehives in the Tampa Wilderness areas.


We do this for extended periods, allowing our bees to collect nectar from the blossoms of a diverse range of native plants in one of the most natural, undisturbed wilderness settings.


Undeterred, our commitment to excellence led us to explore the varied floral tapestry of wilderness Honey.

2 . Any USA Certified Organic honey sold in the United States is imported from other countries and certified organic by that country. ...


A US beekeeper can have non-certified organic honey that is raised organically.


But it is nearly impossible to produce organic honey.


3. Currently, to be certified organic, honey must meet the general USDA organic standards. But there aren't yet requirements specific to honey.


USDA does have recommended guidelines, but an actual organic standard for honey has been in the works since 2001.

 WHY TAMPA GOLD HONEY IS NOT IN CHINA PLASTIC CONTAINERS

 

99% of the plastic containers that is used for Honey come from CHINA AND ARE NOT  BPA FREE. CONTAINERS  LIKE THE LITTLE HONEY BEAR IS A GOOD EXAMPLE.

 Glass is generally preferred for long-term storage. Plastic can potentially leach chemicals like BPA or phthalates into honey, particularly when exposed to heat or sunlight. Additionally, honey's hygroscopic nature (its ability to absorb moisture) can cause it to draw moisture from some plastics, potentially affecting its quality.

 OUR ONE GALLON CONTAINER IS A PLASTIC FOR SHORT TERM USE AND IS FOOD GRADE MADE IN USA.

Why  we stopped putting our Bees in Orange Groves

FARMS' TOXIC COCKTAILS YIELD CROPS, SURPRISES

When pilot Robert Coffey flew across Florida, just above treetop level checking on telephone lines for a phone company in the 1980s, pesticides would drip from the wings of his airplane at the end of the day.

The sticky spray came from flying over citrus groves. Clouds of chemicals rising from the fields covered the aircraft with a fine, toxic mist.

"It was so thick it came off in globs," said Coffey, 72, of Winter Park.

The residue that dripped from Coffey's plane was the proverbial drop in a bucket of chemicals - a huge bucket - that Florida farmers employ every year to ward off insects and disease from their crops.

 

Orange blossom honey is frequently contaminated with pesticides primarily because
citrus crops, which are the source of the nectar, are heavily treated with insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides to ensure high agricultural productivity. Because bees forage for miles and cannot distinguish between treated and untreated plants, they ingest these chemical residues and bring them back to the hive, where they end up in the honey.
Here is a breakdown of why this contamination occurs:
  • Systemic Pesticides in Citrus Agriculture: Many pesticides are systemic, meaning they are absorbed into all parts of the plant—nectar, pollen, leaves, and roots—after being applied to the soil, irrigation systems, or as seed coatings. This means even if a tree is not directly sprayed, the nectar it produces can still contain chemicals.
  • Widespread Pesticide Use: Citrus farming relies on a heavy, sometimes uncontrolled, application of chemicals to manage pests, diseases, and fungal infections.
  • Environmental Persistence: Pesticides, including neonicotinoids and, in some areas, herbicides like glyphosate, are persistent in the environment and are easily brought into the hive by bees foraging on contaminated crops or wild plants.
  • Contamination Through Hive Management: In addition to agricultural pesticide drift, beekeepers often use acaricides to manage Varroa mites, which can directly contaminate the honey and wax.
  • Contamination in Other Areas: The issue is not limited to oranges; it is a broader issue where three-quarters of all honey in the world has been found to be contaminated with pesticides.

While the levels of pesticides in honey are often below the Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) established by regulatory agencies, the accumulation of multiple pesticides (synergistic combinations) in the environment, combined with in-hive treatments, leads to widespread, low-level contamination.

 WE DO NOT SELL ORANGE BLOSSOM HONEY FOR THAT REASON.

 

 WE ONLY SELL RAW Local Tampa Wildernesses HONEY
 NEVER FEED OUR BEES SUGAR WATER, HONEY IS LEFT IN THE HIVE FOR THEM TO SURVIVE.

FEEDING SUGAR WATER IS NOT A REAL SOURCE, LIKE THE NECTAR THEY BRING IN FROM FLOWERS

NOTHING IS ADDED TO THE HONEY
    


WHY WE DO NOT SELL  Tupelo HONEY

        Rarity and Demand:
        The limited growing area of the 
Tupelo tree contributes to the rarity and high demand for tupelo honey.
         
        Due to its high value and limited availability, there's a risk that some producers might mislabel or adulterate other types of honey to sell it as 
Tupelo honey
         
           Check for certifications or labeling that clearly indicates the honey is 100% tupelo, and be wary of overly low prices or excessive availability.
         IN THE LAST 5 YEARS NO
Tupelo SUPPLIER HAS PRODUCED A LAB REPORT OF  Tupelo THAT TEST MORE THAN 48 % TUPELO  HONEY

Honey is one of the most faked foods in the world, and the US government isn't doing much to fix it.  https://www.businessinsider.com/fake-honey-problems-how-it-works-2020-9

Why we do not sell Bee Pollen and Royal Jelly .

Trapping pollen has the potential to inflict significant nutritional stress on the colony Collecting it may adversely affect the health of the bees and even destroy the colony

The truth about Royal Jelly,  well-managed hive during a season of 5–6 months can produce approximately 500 g (18 oz) of royal jelly, also

Collecting it may adversely affect the health of the bees and even destroy the colony.

 

The manuka honey scandal.

 Manuka honey is often touted as a “superfood,  fact is that is no better than any other REAL HONEY.

 But with more being sold than is actually produced, is there some dodgy dealing going on?

 

Science or Snake Oil: is manuka honey really a ‘superfood’ for treating colds, allergies and infections? Claims are nonsense.

 According to recent studies and reports, a significant portion of Manuka honey on the market is considered fake, with investigations revealing that nearly half of tested samples may be adulterated with sugars, particularly when not sourced from New Zealand and lacking proper certification, indicating a high rate of fraudulent Manuka honey products.

 REAL Honey HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE NO DIFFERENT FROM MANUKA HONEY


 REAL HONEY used as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial agent. People commonly use honey orally to treat coughs and topically to treat burns and promote wound healing.


 

 While honey sticks can be a convenient way to consume honey, some argue they are not "good" because they often contain a larger portion of sugar than traditional honey, can be less environmentally friendly due to the packaging, and might not always guarantee high-quality honey depending on the brand, potentially leading to concerns about purity and taste.


Packaging waste:
The individual packaging of honey sticks can contribute to more plastic waste compared to buying honey in a larger container. 
 
Quality concerns:
Some brands might use lower quality honey in their honey sticks, which could impact taste and nutritional value.
