[b][B][b]Reason for sale:

To show our local honey especially when it is Raw, Unprocessed is equally as good as its imported ones.


Good morning, dear lowyat forummers. A belated Selamat Hari Raya to all my Muslim friends and Happy Wesak Day to all those of the Buddhist faith. May these auspicious occasions bring us peace and prosperity to all of us.

The inevitable price change finally have reached
my doorstep. I was informed by my supplier that there will be a rm2 increase in the price of honey in my next order. With the cost of living and logistic cost ( diesel prices, bottling from rm1 to rm2 now) it is fair to him. For the last 15 years or so my price has maintained within the rm50 range not going over to rm60. That was what I promised myself, to bring affordable and good honey for everyone.
As such, the good news is , I will maintain my price of honey still at rm58. I will absorb the price increase though my pin money will now allow me only to have lunch minus breakfast. You may speculate that I make tremendous profits and therefore can afford to absorb the price increase. There are 2 important factors that have to considered.

1. At the onset when I post on this forum, I mentioned that I am not doing a business but as a hobby. I never expect to have such great response and last until now. My intention was to make available honey affordable for everybody.Thus I price it way below the market price so everyone can have the opportunity to afford honey without paying exorbitant prices.

2. As such, I do away with 3rd party resellers and deal directly. The extra profits I pass back to my customers. As age has caught up with me (73 this year), I do not do much cod but instead rely on my customers to collect from my house or use the delivery services. I now need not worry about petrol costs, toll charges or the MRT which is getting more expensive even for a senior person like me. These savings will help me offset the price increase.

With this, I hope this explains why my honey is always cheaper than what you normally pay. Lastly I like to thank my customers for the support they have given me and I will try to continue supplying honey to anyone who wants it . Thank you.

Subsequent to my announcement in Lowyat.net, I made individual personal contacts to my regular customers through watsapp. I am overwhelmed with the support given to me about this price change. Most of them encouraged me to increase the price whilst some was somewhat relieved that I stick to the present price. A very big thank you to all of you.

I am not a good business man as I always have a soft heart. To me, every time my supplier increase his price, it's just rm1 or 2., I tell myself that additional ringgit or two will not make me rich and I just absorb it. As I told one of my customers, " I m already 73, so I just give back what I can afford to share".

Dear Boxer

Sorry for not showing honey. It is the usual bottle that is being use to keep honey.I can rebottle this in a more acceptable bottle but it goes towards the cost. So do you want to pay for a nice looking bottle or look for the contents in it. Glass bottle is the most sensible way of keeping honey as plastic bottles will sometimes deteriorate over time and is not good for you.

I had on purpose not shown the picture of the honey, as people will take for granted that it is the run of mill things.Please rest assured that this is not the same honey that you see being sold by "orang asli" in the restaurants or food courts. Some of them are artifical honey made from chemicals.Honey is such a funny thing, you can only sell it by word of mouth or actually taken it yourself to be convince of the stuff. Any sales talk is useless.

just to tell you a story how I end selling my honey here. I had high blood pressure and consulted a Chinese sinsei in OUG. Well after some months of treatment, my pressure was under control. As he was a distant relative of my wife's and gave me a hefty discount on his consultation, I gave him a bottle of honey as a present. When he saw the honey he asked me where I got the honey from. I told him its from a friend who gave me the honey . He said he had been looking for the honey for some time but could not get any supply. Thats how I started supplying him. Till todate he is the only seller that this honey is supplied to him. He sells it to his patients.

Answer to your question of "no filtering". There is always some residue in the honey as we cannot always get the honey in the cleanest form unless we go throught the drum process. But you will be surrprised that when you pour out the honey, the impurities( ie. some bee wax, bees) will not come out. Just take a tablespoon every morning before brushing your teeth and you can feel the effects. For me and my friends, they feel not so tired and can still go on for the whole day. I am 58 years and when I drive long distance, I usually take a tablespoon before I embark on my journey and I do not feel tired driving. Thats how it works for me.

I wish you can try a bottle of this honey.But as I say I am not doing any hard selling.

I hope the above satisfy your curiosity and will be too please to answer any questions.

Regards.

Dear Blueheng

Normally honey cannot be frozen because the right way to keep honey is in the lower shelve of your fridge. Never deep freeze it. However the most important thing you should NOT DO is expose honey to bright light. The honey can deteriorate and can be harmful to health. If your fridge does not have space just keep it in a cool and dark space in your kitchen. It will last you for years.

Historically, honey was discover in one of the Pharoah's tombs thousands of years old and the honey is still edible.

Regards.

Dear kyagami

The contents including the honey as shown in photo is 1.47kg. The bottle weighs 510gms. So actual weight of honey approx. 960gms.

This is as near as I can give you. Hope it answers your query.

regards.

Dear Kyagami

I STAND TO CORRECT

[U][/U]It never occurred for me to check the weight of the honey until you asked as I do not pack the honey.

A new shipment just arrived yesterday, and I weighed the honey. It is between 1.5kg. -1.48kg. The net weight of the honey is therefore between 1kg. - 0.97kg.

I was told by my supplier that this honey is "raw and unprocessed" and therefore the active enyzmes are still in the honey. As described earlier the honey is collected and seived through without any mechanical process of separation done. As such the enyzmes are still intact.Being "alive" it spills over when agitated. I accept his explanation as I had previously experience this myself and the small shipments that I sent to Japan also encounter such problems even though they were bottled in 300 gms. bottle with a wider mouth.

I always believe in honesty and intregrity and my policy is to provide fast, efficient ,honest service to anyone who deals with me.

Rest assured there is no shortchanging as I do not practice such tactics.

Thank you.

Dear Ayiesz

Thanks for the compliment. I always make sure that I provide the best service.

I did not expect LYN to have a lot of young people. Although most of you readers being young are in reasonable good health, it does not cost you much to have some honey in your house. I know (including my son) who stayed till the wee hours of the night either playing games or blogging. The next morning you will feel very tired. At this point you will not feel the long term effects. If you are tired or getting heaty with a sore throat coming up , take a tablespoon of honey in the morning. it will keep the doctor away. It may be slightly expensive but dont take it frequently then. Just make sure you keep the honey in a dim and cool place. You can keep it in the fridge and although some solidification may arise but it should be viscous when you pour it out.

Just relating my experience. At least you know........isnt it?

This honey is from the jungles of Pahang.As I said in my earleir notes, it is difficult to ascertain what is original honey or not. It depends on the supplier. Either you trust him or you dont. I have been taking this honey for the last 5 years and I find them reliable. The only thing I can say I have not found another honey that is "alive". Whenever we shake the bottle, the honey reacts by "boiling" over. I was told this is the reaction of enzymes that is in the honey. Good honey if not properly kept will still turn to be bad for consumption (read my next article which will be posted next week). The MOST IMPORTANT THING TO KEEP HONEY is not to expose to direct sunlight or heat. Prolong exposure will turn the honey bad and is DETRIMENTAL to your health.Then you better not take than to take.

I will be reproducing again my article on SOMETHING WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT HONEY here in the next couple of days.

I have not been selling this honey on the net until now, but I felt that people should be made known that our local honey is as good as imported honey. For the last 2 years I had been selling honey to Japan on a small quantity. As I had said earlier, the intention at the beginning was just to present as a gift our local honey to my Japanese acquintance whom I met 2 days earlier.The following day his manager approached me and said he wanted to buy our honey for Japan. I had sent him todate 2 shipments. Sending this honey to Japan is very difficult as it is "alive", the honey tends to spill out during transportation and wastage has been incurred. I will also post extracts some of my email correspondences with my Japanese counterpart for you to read. You can also verify with them whether my email are genuine or not. I also have a customer from Singapore who bought honey from me in the net. Recently, he told me he was switching to pollen. So I investigated whether pollen was that good comparative to honey by quality and pricing. My email correspondence was also posted here and was informed that why should we be taking pollen which is so expensive when honey itself has pollen. Marketing people tend to create niche markets by selling you expensive products but you can actually get substitues that are good and very much cheaper. My customer (now a friend) emailed me and told me he will stop subscribing to pollen this June because he signed up for a whole years supply.

Hope the above satisfy you. My posting on the net is just to educate ourselves.You need not buy anything from me unless you are convinced. There is no pressure on your part. Even if you made a COD order and you change your mind, it is all right. Just tell me so. I always leave it to the buyer. Why must he or she be forced to buy something if he/she is not convinced.

Thank you for your time in asking more about honey. At least I feel I have educated another person. Have a Good Day.

It is good to see ppl that are interested in honey. but we must be well aware of what kind of bees they are using to get those honey. Are they polluted? we don't know. Are those bees adulterated? We don't know. Here is an attachment of some reports.

Anyway, i deal with the world largest bee product company. If anyone is interested, i could provide more information. I do not mean any harm to the thread starter. Just thought that i should share things out.
