Description
This is a description of Truefood's Pure Raw Honey. Truefood's Pure Raw Honey is a 100% natural, strained but unfiltered, seasonal honey harvested from local bee colonies. The honey is seasonal, and the sustainable natural nectar sources vary depending on the time of the year. The honey is available in 350g, 500g, or 1kg sizes. The five key nectar sources that the bees feed on are aloe daviana, orange blossom, macadamia, eucalyptus, and sunflower. The honey season starts in June in the area around Pretoria-Rustenberg, where the bees thrive on indigenous aloes. Aloe daviana is the richest source of natural pollen in the world and this gives a huge boost to the bee populations and, as a result, honey production. Then, in the Spring, the hives journey to the Lowveld for the bees to feast on fragrant orange blossom and the gorgeous pink and white flowering racemes of macadamia. Timing is especially crucial when it comes to orange blossom - the trees flower for only three weeks. Orange and macadamia honeys are aromatically more fragrant than aloe, and are also slow gran

NECTAR SOURCES
There are five key nectar sources that the bees feed on. The honey season starts in June in the area around Pretoria-Rustenberg, where the bees thrive on indigenous aloes. Aloe daviana is the richest source of natural pollen in the world and this gives a huge boost to the bee populations and, as a result, honey production.
Then, in the Spring, the hives journey to the Lowveld for the bees to feast on fragrant orange blossom and the gorgeous pink and white flowering racemes of macadamia. Timing is especially crucial when it comes to orange blossom - the trees flower for only three weeks. Orange and macadamia honeys are aromatically more fragrant than aloe, and are also slow granulating.
In October/November, the hives are on the move again, this time to the nearby eucalyptus (bluegum) trees.
Then it's on to the Free State's endless sunflower fields. By March, the bees have moved on to bluegum plantations in Northern Kwazulu Natal. And then the cycle starts again!
