5th Anniversary of MY HONEY & BEE AMAZED GARDEN

Dear Fans of MY HONEY,

Thank you for your kind support all these years. Because of your support, MY HONEY is now 5 years old.

Although we are a new kid on the block, we are proud that our Avocado Blossoms Honey is the winner of the 2017 SOFI GOLD AWARD in New York, USA. Having the SOFI award is akin to winning an “OSCAR” award.

Check out the latest test results of the SOFI Gold Award-winning Avocado Blossoms Honey so that you can see for yourself the length we go to provide you with great honey.  Just to highlight some critical parameters of this amazing honey.

Parameter No. 1: HMF or 5-hydroxymethylfurfural amounts to only 2/1 mg/kg . Heat damaged honey has HMF of 40mg/kg or more. Consuming heat damaged honey, its akin to consuming very expensive sugar.

Parameter No. 2: Moisture content is 15%. Honey with moisture content of more than 20% will ferment. Bubbles of carbon dioxide will appear and accumulated. When there is so much carbon dioxide has accumulated, it may pop like opening a bottle of champagne. The fermented honey turns alcoholic and some beekeepers make honey wine out of it. For wine lovers, better get some Bordeoux from France.

Parameter No. 3: C4 Sugar Content of 0%. Cane sugar and high fructose corn syrup consist of C4 sugars. This shows that no artificial or external sugar has been added. It is internationally accepted that the C4 sugar content of natural (unadulterated) honey must not be greater than 7%.

Parameter No.4: Tetracyclines not detected. Tetracylines is a class of antibiotics. You certainly do not want antibiotics residues in your honey.

Parameter No. 5: Nitrofuran Metabolites like AOZ, AMOZ, AHD, SEM not detected. Used for the treatment of bacterial infections in bee colony health. Again you surely do not want them in your honey.

Parameter No. 6: Fumagilin not detected. Fumagilin is used as an antimicrobial agent to treat bee disease called Nosema. You certainly do not want fthis residue in your honey.

Parameter No. 7: Macrolides-1 not detected. Macrolides are antimicrobials beekeepers sometimes use to treat bees. You certainly do not want macrocodes in your honey.

Parameter No. 8: Streptomycin not detected. Streptomycin is an antibiotic beekeepers sometime use to treat bee diseases like European foul brood and American foul brood. You certainly do not want such contiminants in your honey.

Parameter No. 9: Sulfonamides and Trimethoprim not detected.  This combination of antibiotics are sometimes use to treat bee diseases like
European foul brood and American foul brood. You certainly do not want such contiminants in your honey.

Parameter No. 10: Pesticides not detect and Bee Treatment Agent Amitraz only very tiny trace of 0.089 mg/kg. The Commission Regulation (EU) states that the maximum residue level (MRL) of amitraz in honey is 0.2mg/kg. Amitraz is used to kill Varroa mites.

On this note, we you like to wish you and your family, MERRY CHRISTMAS and A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
