Our priority as Beekeepers is "It's all about the bees".
 
Manuka honey—also known as Jelly Bush or Active honey—is made by the bees when they gather nectar from Leptospermum plants. At Fergo's Farm, the rich, distinctive flavour comes from two unique species: L. whitei and L. polygalifolium, unlike New Zealand’s single species, L. scoparium. Over the years, many scientific studies have explored and confirmed the remarkable therapeutic properties of Manuka honey.
 
Native to Australia, we have over 80 different species of the Leptospermum genus, giving us the largest diversity of the Manuka plants in the world! Active honey is graded by an MGO (methylglyoxal) rating. MGO is a naturally-occurring chemical compound within the honey and is the driving force behind the antibacterial effects of the honey. The higher the MGO rating, the greater antimicrobial effect. As quoted from the Australian Manuka Honey Association: "Studies have uncovered that bacteria with resistance to modern antibiotics (becoming super-bugs) cannot develop resistance to the activity of Manuyka honey (Blair et al. 2009)."
 
Active honey is not only consumed (at room temperature) for internal health, (digestive health, boosting the immune system, oral health, throat issues, stomach health) but it's also great for topical use. (Stimulates wound healing, hastens burn recovery, it's antibacterial and has anti-inlammatory effects) Hospitals have been using Manuka honey for some time and Veterinarians have Active honey in their wound management protocols as well.
 
Give it a go - once your feel the health benefits you'll be using if for your natural healing more than expected.
