where to find pure honey ?

people always say pure honey never attracts ants. is this true ?

No

yeah

Haven u seen a bee hive full of ants?

Thought I entered google search bar

Honey is fructose , ofc la attract ants

true honey that is untreated wont freeze at 0c ,has no sugar, may forming wax when left in room temp after extraction after a few weeks, doesn't taste sweet, only can be bought from the native settler. Very hard to buy because I also rarely bought one.

But outside of the hive does not have honey. Need to cut it open. Furthermore, full of bees ants don't go purposely attack something much bigger. And it's not true ants don't attack bee hives. Ants will still try got go into the inner layer since the hives aren't 100% without holes. Got small small gap.

In short, ants do go bee hives for honey.

u bought from orang asli?

I didn't do the fridge test but when i harvest kelulut honey i know it's source got ant lah.

dont be gullible.

a lot of fakes in the market.

even those who claim got certification, usually they send original sample to the lab, but during production/batch they sell fakes and cincai products.

if you know the way how to find the real thing, do let me know.

Royal Project Shop at DMK airport sells reliable honey. Google this shop to understand, as well as reverence for Bhumipol 9

This is the only raw honey I buy. Expensive but really taste good.

Key phrase: PURE HONEY.

Many years ago I tested using drops of pure honey from honeycombs of wild stinging bees which I harvested with my own hands in Kinabatangan and Ranau, Sabah. Black ants didn't eat it. They'd pause to inspect it, and then move on. I believe they're not stupid and knew that they'd get stuck to the stuff and die. But tiny red ants went kamikaze and paid the ultimate price.

Honey does absorb water vapor from the air. Over time the drops of honey did become diluted and runny. The ants then gathered around the honey and feasted on the parts of the drops which were runnier. Currently there are 2 small colonies of stingless bees locally known as kelulut on my property. I've left them alone so far, but didn't notice any ants in the immediate area.

they only occasionally sell to you, I was lucky to bought from them once, but that is the only one in lifetime. because they would keep most honey to themselves.

You can find pure honey at local farmers' markets, specialty grocery stores, or directly from beekeepers. Look for reputable brands that prioritize quality. As for the ant thing, it's not a foolproof rule, but ants are generally less attracted to pure honey because it lacks the added sugars and moisture that can attract them. However, it's always a good idea to store honey properly to avoid any unwanted visitors.

well?

not sure if local got something like this, maybe they should promote more on this

Donno shit but give advice like expert lol

U think orang asli won't cheat ppl ?

This type if they want to cheat , u there are ways to do it also one .

true also

best to get from the beekeeper themselves

mcm true, usually got honey from my dad from his "hutan", those honey from hive up on the tree i think

not really eat/drink honey, so small bottle could last a long time and never seen any ants come near the bottle, my old house last time are full of ants.

Can buy from giant B shopee. If not confident, drive to their farm, their staff will show u around and explain everything.

No way to know unless you lab test period.

Honey, those by ladies choice brand for eg. Real one ah?

if it got halal cert it means jakim already do the lab test, right ?

Test for halal not for honey lol

Got spore brand. Their stall in front of Jusco 1u, 2nd floor. Forgot the shop name but sibeh expensive.

how to they know there is no alcohol added ?

surely they need a comprehensive lab test.

I still have half kilo of pure honey that was harvested 12 years ago, personally at the harvested site. Still in perfect condition, in liquid form, no crystalisation, smells same as day one.

apa beza madu asli, madu tualang, madu kelulut, etc?

Madu asli - to show that it's original with nothing added. Source of honey is unknown.

Madu Tualang - the bee make their home on Tualang tree. Very tall tree and difficult to get.

Madu kelulut - honey from kelulut. Not bee. Kelulut is very small flying insect that gather nectar like bee. The taste is a bit different. It's an acquired taste. Not many people love it.

Normally honey name is assicuated with plalce / where the nectar come from. For eample NZ Manuka Honey - the nectar is from Manuka flower andd the bee exclusively gather the nectar from this tree and Manuka tree native to New Zealand.

YouTube it up , only few location in this world can test honey is pure or mix with fructose . If jakim got this ability , they would be making shit load of cash aldy .

Just to be on the safe side, do be careful of the risk of botulism in honey. That’s why never give honey to babies
https://solidstarts.com/garlic-honey-infant-botulism/

Buy from orang asli they have pure honey but quite expensive

Those are sugar loaded ones.

Real honey still attracts ants.

And many people happily buy those so called kampung honey filled up in bottles without proper processing is taking a risk of killing them along the way.

Beware of botulism caused by those improper practices processing the honey.

Those honey in shopee selling for 40 per kilo can trust?

https://shp.ee/u6g4he5

it is still sugar. beware

Honey contains mostly sugar, as well as a mix of amino acids, vitamins, minerals, iron, zinc and antioxidants. In addition to its use as a natural sweetener, honey is used as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial agent. People commonly use honey orally to treat coughs and topically to treat burns and promote wound healing.

honey, not all but most be it what famous brand also caught selling fake before, export more than it produces lmao

not referring to any particular brand but farm can show u the entire harvest process but feed bees with sugar at behind, lol

I was on the tour visit to a Bee Farm last recently. Surprisingly, the one doing the tour talk was making this statement. The same statement triggered my interest as the Tualang honey I purchased was attracting the ants.

I bought around 3kg the honey from this farm, surprisingly the honey purchased from this farm really didn't attract any ants event when there was some honey residual at the bottle's lid.

The same observation & the reading online gave some mixed points. Perhaps the pure honey that's don't attracted ants only valid for certain species of honey bees.

This from my chi doc

I told him about honey I bought from a shoplot with all the right stuff concerning real honey vs fake. And he told me even those are mixed and fake. He says one company monopolize the whole market now..the only real pure honey is that one shop in 1 utama that sells honey. I forgot what's the name.

Don't know how true is this

jungle house ?

Yesss

real honey will attract ants. That's why man made beehouse they have a container to pour in diesel or grease, so the ants cannot climb up.

Can buy real honey from bee farms

tries this raw honey, it is full of wax, also doesn't attract ants.
