Piesseful Bees Honey – Your Home For Raw, Pure Honey

Why Choose Pure Honey?

Honey has been a go-to favourite for its sweetness, versatility, and health benefits for thousands of years. But let’s be real—it’s getting harder to trust what’s on the shelves these days. With so many processed and adulterated varieties out there, how do you know if you’re getting the real deal? Pure honey, is a term many honey sellers use – straight from nature, better taste, packed with nutrients and natural goodness that processed alternatives just can’t match. But sadly, a lot of big-name brands cut corners by adding sugars, syrups, or artificial flavourings, leaving you with something that’s more “meh” than marvellous.

That’s why at Piesseful Bees Honey, we’re all about keeping things truly pure and simple. The phrase “pure honey” actually annoys us a lot!! We take pride in offering honey that’s raw, unprocessed, and straight from the hive. No fillers, no pasturisation, no shortcuts—just pure, delicious honey packed with all the natural enzymes and health benefits that make it so special. Our passion for sustainable and ethical beekeeping means every jar of honey we share with you is as close to nature as it gets. From our hives to your home, we’re here to deliver honey that’s full of flavour, goodness, and heart.

What Is "Pure Honey"?

Usually, , honey marked “pure honey” is honey that is unadulterated, meaning it has not been mixed with added sugars, syrups, or artificial sweeteners. It is made solely from the nectar collected by bees, which is transformed into honey through their natural processes. Unlike processed or adulterated honey, pure honey retains all of its natural enzymes, antioxidants, and health benefits. However, many well-known supermarket brands use fillers like sugars, corn syrup, or other sweeteners to reduce costs, which impacts the purity of the honey. These additives dilute the natural properties of honey, stripping it of its nutrients and health benefits.

You would be forgiven for thinking that this truly is the purest honey, but the phrase “pure honey” doesn’t actually mean that it’s not pasturised or heat treated. The phrase you really want to look for is “raw honey”, because by purchasing raw honey, you know you’ll be getting honey that is entirely, truly pure. By choosing our pure honey, are getting a product that is as close to nature as possible, full of the goodness that bees provide, without any unwanted fillers or additives.

How can you tell if a honey is pure?

To determine if honey is raw and pure, there are a few key signs to look for. Pure honey typically has a thick, viscous consistency and may naturally crystallise over time, which is a sign of its authenticity. It should not contain any added ingredients or fillers, such as sugars or syrups. When buying honey, always read the label carefully—look for certifications like “raw” or “organic,” which indicate a higher quality and pureness. Be cautious of products with too many ingredients or vague labeling, as this could be a sign of adulteration. At Piesseful Bees Honey, you can be sure that our honey is 100% pure, raw honey. It is carefully harvested directly from the hive and provided to our customers in its raw, unaltered, and perfect form, preserving all its natural goodness.

What's the difference between raw honey and 100% pure honey?

The terms “raw honey” and “100% pure honey” are often used interchangeably, but they have subtle differences. It’s one thing you can be sure to hear about if you meet us at a market or event, because we take this so seriously.

Raw honey refers to honey that has been minimally processed—typically just strained to remove debris like beeswax and pollen. It retains its natural enzymes, antioxidants, and other beneficial compounds that are sometimes lost during processing. On the other hand, 100% pure honey can be slightly processed, but it should still be free from additives, such as sugars or syrups. In essence, raw honey is often considered a subtype of pure honey, with both types offering the natural benefits of honey, such as immune-boosting properties and antioxidants. Whether you choose raw honey or 100% pure honey, both options provide a natural, wholesome product, but raw honey tends to offer a bit more in terms of preserving its full range of health benefits.

The true difference between raw honey and 100% pure honey is found in the way of pasturisation or ‘heat treating’. Heating honey above 50 degrees celsius diminishes the quality so it is always recommended to purchase raw honey directly from a beekeeper, where you know there has been no heat treatment.

How do I make sure I buy real honey?

To ensure you’re purchasing real honey, it’s important to buy from reputable sources like Piesseful Bees Honey, where you can trust that every jar of honey is raw and unadulterated.

Adulterated honey refers to honey that has been mixed with fillers such as glucose, corn syrup, or other cheaper sweeteners to reduce production costs. These fillers are added to lower the price of honey, but they dilute its quality and purity. Common methods of adulteration include blending honey with high-fructose corn syrup or other sugary liquids that mimic the sweetness of honey but lack its natural enzymes and antioxidants.

The impact of consuming non-pure honey can be significant. Not only do you miss out on the health benefits associated with pure honey, such as its antioxidants and immune-boosting properties, but you may also be exposed to artificial ingredients and sweeteners. These additives can contribute to health concerns, including weight gain and blood sugar imbalances.

Does 100% raw, pure honey expire?

100% raw, pure honey doesn’t technically expire due to its low moisture content and natural preservative properties. Honey has been found in ancient tombs still perfectly edible after thousands of years. Its high sugar content and low moisture level create an inhospitable environment for bacteria and microbes, which helps preserve it indefinitely.

However, over time, honey may crystallise, turning from its liquid form into solid chunks. This is a completely natural process and doesn’t indicate spoilage. Crystallisation occurs because the glucose in honey separates from the water content. If this happens, simply place the jar in warm water to return the honey to its liquid state. Rest assured, crystallisation doesn’t affect the quality or safety of your honey. At Piesseful Bees Honey, we provide you with honey that can be enjoyed for years to come.

What honey is not pure?

When buying honey, it’s important to watch out for several red flags. Avoid products with vague labeling or those that list “added sugar,” “high fructose corn syrup,” or “glucose” as ingredients. These additives are often used to reduce costs and dilute the honey, compromising its purity and health benefits. Be cautious of honey labeled as “pure” without any certifications, as it might still contain fillers or have undergone excessive processing.

To ensure you’re getting the best quality, always buy from trusted sources that provide transparency about their sourcing and production methods. Purchasing honey from unknown or low-quality suppliers could expose you to adulterated products that lack the natural goodness and health benefits of raw honey. At Piesseful Bees Honey, we guarantee our honey is 100% pure raw honey that is ethically sourced, and free from any additives, so you can enjoy the full, natural flavour and health benefits in every jar.

Does real pure honey crystallise?

Real honey naturally crystallises over time due to its high sugar content and low water content. This is a completely natural process and does not affect the quality or health benefits of the honey. Crystallised honey is still perfectly fine to eat, and many people actually enjoy its spreadable texture.

We don’t recommend heating honey, for instance in a microwave, as this can impact the natural bacteria and health benefits that make honey such a powerful superfood – warming is still ok though! It’s best to enjoy honey in its raw, crystallised form to fully preserve its nutritional value.
