Australian Certified Organic Manuka Honey
What Qualifies Honey as Organic?
Honey can be labeled as organic if it is produced using organic farming practices. This means that the bees producing the honey have access to pesticide-free plants and flowers that have not been treated with synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or other chemicals. In addition, the beekeepers must also follow organic standards, such as not using antibiotics on the bees, using natural beekeeping methods, and not using any chemicals in the honey processing.
Organic honey is typically produced by small-scale beekeepers who use sustainable and environmentally friendly methods to manage their hives. It is also usually free from additives, such as sugar or artificial flavors. Organic certification is often done by third-party organizations like Australian Certified Organic (ACO) to ensure that the honey meets certain standards and has been produced in an environmentally responsible way.
Biosota Organics Manuka Honey
Biosota Organics Manuka honey is completely natural and non-genetically modified, with a majority of our products proudly holding Australian Certified Organic status. Our honey is sourced from pristine bee sites situated in remote areas within the Australian bush, including state rainforests and national parks. This unique location allows Biosota to produce Manuka honey without exposure to pesticides, chemicals, or pollutants.
These untouched bee sites are carefully chosen, nestled among ancient Manuka trees, far removed from highways, main roads, and farms that could introduce contaminants. This strategic placement enables us to meet the rigorous standards of Australian Certified Organic and Glyphosate-Free certifications. Furthermore, our antibiotic-free bees are free to range and forage in the wild without disturbances from noise or external factors, far from pesticide-sprayed crops.
We are meticulous in selecting the optimal locations for our hives and timing their placement to align with the brief 2-6 week flowering seasons of the rare Manuka species that produces the world's most potent medicinal-grade Manuka honey.
Utilising cold extraction from the hive, we take care to avoid all heat in our honey-making process including any pasteurisation or sterilisation which may kill the living enzymes and bioactive compounds that give Manuka honey its exceptional properties.
