Honey is a thick, golden-colored liquid produced by\u00a0bees\u00a0and other\u00a0insects such as some bumblebees and wasps. It is extracted from the nectar of flowers that\u00a0bees collect and store in\u00a0their\u00a0stomachs until\u00a0they return to the hive.<\/p>\n

Raw Honey and Processed Honey<\/h4>\n

Also known as unfiltered honey, raw honey is harvested\u00a0from a beehive and then\u00a0filtered to remove impurities. Processed honey, on the other hand, goes through a filtration process. It is\u00a0also pasteurized (exposed to high\u00a0temperatures)\u00a0to destroy yeast and\u00a0give it a longer shelf life.<\/p>\n

Processed honey is milder,\u00a0but the\u00a0filtering\u00a0and\u00a0pasteurization\u00a0process\u00a0removes\u00a0some of its nutrients and antioxidants.<\/p>\n
