What makes Oneroot honey different?Updated 2 months ago

We are the only brand that focuses on producing antibiotic-free honey. Yes, bees are treated with antibiotics like other livestock. Our pristine Northern Canadian Boreal Forest bee-yards away from cities and pollution allow us to achieve chemical-free beekeeping. Our bees are healthy without the use of antibiotics.

Our honey is never mixed and is always bottled straight from the source. Most of the honey you find in stores are mixed with foreign honey that are known to be tainted with illegal antibiotics and heavy metals. Tests show that the majority of big store honey is not honey at all, but rather a mix of syrup and sweeteners that have no traces of pollen.

100% Canadian: You’ll see a lot of honey jars marked with “CANADA NO. 1”. This does not indicate the source of honey. As long as the honey is packed and labeled in Canada and meets the grade specifications, “CANADA NO. 1” will be written on the label. Many companies use this grading deceptively to suggest that their honey is Canadian.

Unpasteurized: Honey never goes bad. It doesn’t need to be pasteurized in the first place. Big companies pasteurize and ultra-filter their honey in order to give a pure and clean look to their honey and to prevent crystallization. They have to go through this process, in a way, because their honey is mixed with foreign honey of unknown sources. After heating and ultra-filtering, honey's source can no longer be traced. Our honey is never pasteurized and never reaches temperature above 35˚C (95˚F) during its extracting and bottling processes.
