Honey Goods Cut Combed Honey, is Honey and Beeswax in its natural raw form. The texture is naturally sweet and chewy. Cut Combed Honey provides all the health properties of Honey with added Beeswax benefits.
The honeycomb, created by honeybees, is a remarkable structure that serves as both a storage unit and a habitat. Bees build the hexagonal wax cells to store honey, pollen, and to house their larvae. Once filled with nectar, the honey is sealed off by the bees with a thin layer of beeswax to preserve it for future use.
Honeycomb is not only an essential part of the bees' hive but also contains several bioactive compounds beneficial to humans. In addition to honey, combed honey often contains bee pollen, propolis, and royal jelly. These substances have various health benefits:
Bee Pollen: Collected from flower stamens, bee pollen is rich in proteins, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. It is often considered a natural superfood, contributing to energy, immunity, and overall well-being.
Propolis: This is a resin-like substance that bees collect from tree buds. Propolis has natural antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties and is believed to support immune function and help with inflammation.
Royal Jelly: A secretion produced by worker bees to feed the queen, royal jelly is packed with proteins, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. It’s often marketed as a natural health tonic with potential benefits for skin, energy, and cognitive function.
As for the beeswax itself, it provides some health benefits too. While its primary role in the hive is structural, beeswax is known for containing long-chain fatty acids, alcohols, and esters, which are thought to have moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties when used in topical applications. It is also considered to be heart-healthy when consumed in small amounts because it contains beneficial fats that support lipid balance.
