#90 - Cold Extract Honey with Prenten at Beehive State Honey

What does "raw honey" really mean? How do you know if your honey is truly raw - is just the label enough? Are there different benefits to truly raw honey vs heated honey - even low heat temperature honey? And - how do you use truly raw honey? Does it ever go bad? How is it produced? Alison and I had so many questions all about honey and in this episode, Prenten, a beekeeper in Utah in the United States did an excellent job answering all of our questions - with some surprising answers.

Join our Patreon to support the podcast and check out the 40-minute Aftershow where Prenten and I went even deeper down some of the rabbit holes connected to beekeeping and raw honey. It was a wonderful visit, Alison and I both learned so much and we are excited to share this episode with you.
