I recently purchased a jar of "Manx Honey, R.A. Ratcliffe, Lower Cordeman Farm, St. Marks, Isle of Man." As someone familiar with many local beekeepers, I understand that most honey sold in large stores doesn't actually qualify as genuine honey because it lacks the pollen found in most authentic honey. This is due to the pollen being removed during most filtration processes. I'm seeking honey that contains pollen and beeswax, as the medicinal properties are believed to stem from these components. I would love to look for local beekeepers here, but I must leave the island for some time; so that'll have to wait. (Visas are a hassle, especially when you're not exactly welcomed on the island...) Of course, I plan to visit the farmer's markets on the island when I return, to source single-origin raw honey. The size doesn't really matter; this stuff lasts forever and is an amazing item to keep on your shelf in case you're sick or just not feeling your best. A major aspect I look out for is whether the honey crystallizes. I haven't had my honey for long, so I'll keep track of this, but I want to ensure I'm receiving the health benefits from my honey that I should be. Thanks to anyone who can give any amount of insight <33
