Raw natural honey is definitely pricier but worth the health investment. Next time you go grocery shopping I hope you remember to pick up that jar! Not only are you doing yourself a favor but you're helping bee farms thrive which is a whole different topic in itself, as bees are becoming more scarce lately and they are vital to our environment.

You might be surprised to find there are different types or "flavors" of honey to try and each one also provides it's own unique benefits. Personally I prefer darker honey and I love chewing on the bee comb! If you can find a jar of honey with a bee comb (honeycomb) in it you're in for a real treat.

• Lastly, it's important to state there are dangers and risks of ingesting raw natural honey for certain people (ex. pregnant) so be sure to research that as well.
