Where can I find real bee honey?

1. If it wouldn’t be bee honey, what would it be then?

2. Yeah, it doesn’t say which honey it is and now i’m guessing maybe it’s butterfly honey?

3. They’re both honey from bees. Where do you get honey NOT made by bees?
   Only difference between the two is that Pirkka honey is made outside of EU, Hunaja Yhtymä honey is made in Finland.

4. World production of honey only cover like 25% of the consumption. The rest that are being sold as honey is just sugar and water mixed up.

   But in the nordic countries we have a high production so it is almost always real honey. It is not like in the USA wher 95% is just fake.

   In many stores you can buy locally produced honey from your local bee farm. They are always sold in a glas jar since real honey can be crystallised.

5. Do you mean like unfiltered more “natural” type of honey? Afaik liquid honey (like these bottles) is more processed.

   Get something that’s sold in a can rather than bottle. They can still be a bit of a hit or miss but you may get lucky and end up with a very tasty honey.

   The best one I’ve had was made at a raspberry farm, the bees gathered nectar from the raspberry flowers. But I doubt it’s sold in supermarkets.

   Often farmers’s markets in the summer sell nice small farm honeys.

6. They are both real bee honey. If the word “suodatettu” meaning filtered somehow is messing with you, it means that the pollen is filtered out but it is still real honey. It is explained at the back.

7. Sorry, we only sell spider honey in Finland, bee honey is banned so that real bees can eat it themselves.

8. Left one yellow blue 100% is, likely the other is too but because the origin is outside EU I’m not gonna say 100%

9. Bee honey is old fashioned. Bumlebee honey is a lot of more trendy

    I’m not sure what you’re asking, but what can called honey is pretty strictly regulated in the EU.

11. Like what? Does people need handholding when buying groceries. That is REAL honey and nothing else.

12. Perhaps you are confusing the words on the back with an ingredient list? The listed ingredients on those bottles is 100% bee honey…

13. Don’t feed the trolls

14. Both of the products in the photo are actual bee honey.

15. From your local beekeeper.

16. Every proper store.

17. Thank you very much for all your support guys!! Didn’t expect so many people to turn out, but I’m so grateful for y’all and now I can eat honey in peace ✌️ ☺️

18. You might want to check if there’s REKO in your area. They are kinda like farmers markets and they have honey too!
