The term "raw honey" or "live honey" is used to describe honey that is cold-extracted and unheated, preserving its natural state.
Colonia Organic Raw Honey is pure, natural, and unprocessed by heat, thus retaining its live enzymes and vitamins, which provide outstanding nutritional qualities and health benefits.
Forest honey,, is collected from forested areas, which may include both coniferous trees (fir, spruce, pine, etc.) and deciduous trees (maple, oak, etc.).
Unlike flower honey, forest honey does not come from nectar but from honeydew - the sweet secretion produced by aphids. These small insects feed on the sap of trees and excrete a sugary substance (honeydew), which bees later collect.
Compared to other types of honey, forest honey is richer in minerals such as manganese, phosphorus, zinc, cobalt, and sulfur. It also contains higher levels of calcium, magnesium, iron, and potassium, along with polyphenols, antioxidants, and prebiotics (which serve as food for beneficial gut bacteria, promoting healthy digestion).
forest honey has less glucose than flower honey and contains a higher proportion of complex sugars.

Important!
Bee products are NOT recommended for children under 1 year of age.
Crystallization (also called granulation) is a natural process that confirms the honey is raw and attests to its high quality.
Since bee products are made by bees from natural sources, they are not standardized in terms of organoleptic properties. Therefore, color, taste, smell, or appearance may vary from batch to batch, without affecting the product's benefits or quality.
