Albina Carpatina forest honey, 360 g, Apicola Pastoral

Forest honey is the only type of honey that does not come from the nectar of flowers. This type of honey can come from the sweet secretions of trees.
In fir, pine, spruce, or even beech or willow forests, resins or certain sweet sticky substances flow on the trunk or leaves of these trees.
These sweet substances are taken over by bees, especially in spring and autumn, when the flowers are few or offer little nectar.
One reason why hand honey is highly valued is the fact that it can be considered a cocktail of minerals.
The mineral content of hand honey, for example, is six times higher than that of acacia honey.
In terms of carbohydrates, compared to honey from the nectar of flowers, hand honey contains different proportions of sugars.
Hand honey contains few volatile substances, for this reason its aroma is not very pronounced, however conifer honey is a little more aromatic, when you open the jar you will feel a slight smell of resin.
This variety of honey also contains antioxidant substances such as phenols, flavonoids or other pigments.
Also, the high content of bioactive components compared to other types of honey was highlighted.
Regarding the bacterial action of hand honey, it has been shown that it depends a lot on the area from which the bees collected the product, as well as on the plant from which the bees collected it.
Hand honey has a special value for human consumption and through the content of organic acids, bioflavonoids, vitamin C and vitamins from the B group.
However, honey due to its high mineral content is frequently recommended as an adjuvant in the treatment of spasmophilia in adolescents, rickets in children and adolescents, osteoporosis and joint diseases in adults and the elderly.
Hand honey is also useful for people with a weakened immune system.
The color of hand honey is brown, with a greenish, reddish or pronounced blackish tint, depending a lot on the predominant tree from which the honey comes.
The taste of hand honey is very different from the other varieties of flower honey, and due to the increased content of mineral substances that partly covers the sweet taste given by sugars, the taste of hand honey is specific, slightly caramelized.

Crystallization of honey is a natural process.
