Honey quality
I can use my felt sense when buying a jar.
Indeed, because of its high price, there are some abuses and some manuka honeys are fake.
Moreover, each honey is different and it is not possible to compare them from the label.
The medicinal quality depends mainly on
- The mixture of plant species foraged by the bees (it is not possible to guarantee a 100% manuka honey).
- The weather.
- The location of the hive.

The action of the bees potentiates these properties, in particular by:
