Honey Facts
How do we get such high results?
The Leptospermum plant is responsible for the high activity results found in honey collected from coastal regions and islands off the coast of South East Queensland and Northern NSW. Our Stradbroke Island Honey was recently tested by the Sunshine Coast University Chemistry Department. The attached report confirms that it has a very high 1458MGO/30+ ULF rating.
Research has increased over the past 20 years showing that Australia has been found to have 86 “Bio-active” Native plants. Stradbroke Island has an abundance of the top 6 “Bio-active” plants. These are all part of the Leptospermum plant species as shown below.
lanigerum ,L. liversidgei, L. nitens, L. polygalifolium, L. speciosum, L. whitei,
scoparium (known as Manuka) is the 7th most “Active”, it does not grow on Stradbroke Island.
The UMF testing method (Unique Manuka Factor) is trademarked to New Zealand and cannot be used here in Australia, even though it has recently been reported by the Sunshine Coast University that the Manuka plant originated here in Australia!
The Leptospermum plants flourish in drought like conditions as they have deep roots and grow in swampy areas, therefore having constant access to pure, sand filtered, water. They are in constant flower when drought conditions prevent other trees and plants from producing a flower. The bees feast on these Bio-active plants to produce high activity rated honey.
Hello Honey can provide you with extremely rare honey from Stradbroke Island and Northern NSW, pure, potent and proven. Extracted utilising organic principles, not heated and coarse strained to retain pollen. The hives are placed in pristine environments, free from chemical residue. Quite simply, it is as pure and natural as can BEE.
What is Propolis?
Propolis is created by bees from a group of natural substances with antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-viral and antiseptic properties. Bees are able to prevent infection in their hive by using sap from young trees that have antibiotic properties. They gather the sap, re-metabolize it with their nectar secretions, and take it back to the hives. There, they spread it all over the hive so that every bee will brush against it and become immunized. The tree antibiotic becomes the bee antibiotic.
