Each is as unique as its floral source. This is why the color varies from varietal to varietal, crop to crop. Bee Raw Honey is 100% natural, unprocessed + unfiltered. By its very nature, it's organic, but it's not "certified organic.” There are no certified organic honeys in the continental US. Even though Bee Raw does not use pesticides, bees are living things with free will. Theoretically some of them can travel to a neighboring field + sample someone else’s flowers. But that’s not very likely. Colors + textures of each varietal will not be exactly the same for every jar. Also, raw honey crystalizes over time; some honeys crystalize faster than others. The color + opacity of the honey will vary greatly depending on the point the honey is of the crystallization process. If the honey looks clear in a photo, but cloudy or solid on the shelf, that is perfectly fine - it’s just nature taking its course. Crystallization is perfectly natural + does not mean it's bad. Because this honey is raw, the natural sugars (glucose + fructose) will bind together + begin to form little crystals, which can make your honey harder or appear to separate. To decrystallize, slowly place the jar in a hot water bath + leave to cool. Be careful not to boil or scorch your honey. Honey does not spoil – ever. It does not need refrigeration either. Just take good care not to drop food or liquid particles into the honey. Store your honey at room temperature. Even after opening, you do not need to refrigerate it.
