FAQ - Frequently asked questions about our products

Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions about the high-quality HOYER products.

What is the difference between organic honey and conventional honey?

Since 2000, guidelines for organic beekeeping have been laid down by the EU Organic Farming Regulation. The most important Rules of organic beekeeping:

  • No use of synthetic chemicals in honey harvesting, in the treatment of bee diseases and for pest control.
  • Beehives may only be made of natural materials.
  • If winter feeding is permitted, the feed (sugar) must be 100% organically produced.
  • The location of the beehives must be chosen so that non-organically or organically farmed areas are located in the vicinity as far as possible.
  • Beeswax for new central walls must come from organic production.
  • No clipping of the queen bee's wings.
What is propolis?

Our honey bees not only collect nectar and pollen, but also resins from various plants and trees. They process these with their own secretions to create the unique natural product: propolis. Our bees still use this to protect themselves from bacteria, viruses and fungi. In the beehive, many bees live together in a confined space at around 37° and humid air. To prevent the spread of diseases, the bees distribute the protective resin throughout the hive and use it to seal small gaps. This is what makes propolis so interesting for us humans. The protective resin has been used since ancient times and even the ancient Egyptians appreciated its effect.

What makes Manuka honey so special?

Manuka honey occupies an outstanding special position due to its unusually high activity. The Institute of Food Chemistry at TU Dresden has identified the active ingredient that is primarily responsible for this: Methylglyoxal (MGO). In contrast to normal honey only New Zealand Manuka honey has a significantly high content:

❗️Andere honeys: 0 to 20 mg/kg MGO

❗️Manuka honeys: 20 to 800 mg/kg MGO

The higher the content, the more intense the honey and the flavor. As is usual with natural products, the differences in the MGO values of Manuka honey are based on factors such as location, weather conditions, time of harvest, storage...
