However, if i t is to be used for its health-benefits, it must be raw honey since he ating honey (pasteurization) destroys the all of the pollen, enzymes, propolis, vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants and aromatics.\nAccordin g to the Scientific American: \"Organic honey isn’t impossible. It s just beyond of the ability of most beekeepers. Bee yards situated in isolated spots deep in the Adirondacks, or mountain valleys in spar sely-populated New Mexico, can probably pull off honey free of agroche micals. Most beekeepers operate within a bee’s flight of pesticides, however, making “organic” honey an illusory proposition.\"\nMohaw k Valley Trading Company Raw Adirondack Wildflower Honey is in the sam e condition as it was in the hive, and although it is not labeled orga nic honey, it is as organic as you can get from honey produced in the United States.\n100% Pure Beeswax Candles\nUnfortunately, most people who burn candles are unaware of the dangers of burning petroleum-based paraffin (a sludge and waste product from the refining of petroleum) and scented candles which produce highly toxic fumes and soot when bur ned. The soot and highly toxic fumes released into the air by burning paraffin wax are the same as those found in burning diesel fuel.\nBees wax candles have been used by humans since prehistoric times and are o ne of the oldest sources of artificial light. Unlike paraffin candles, they do not contain any additives, synthetic chemicals or produce hig hly toxic fumes and soot when burned. Beeswax candles are made from th e melted and filtered caps that seal the honeycomb and have their own natural honey/floral scent even when not burning.\n \nAbout The Adiro ndacks Welcome Center The Adirondacks Welcome Center serves as a comf ortable, modern gateway to the Adirondacks region.
