I haven't the faintest idea if I'm getting any health benefits from this but I decided to order this product after a friend brought a piece of honeycomb from a nest that had not been treated and had Royal jelly in the cells. It was so good and so sweet I've tried to find something close locally and haven't had any luck. This product seemed to fit the bill.
Got it today and was a bit disappointed that the jar leaked a bit; the edge of the lid was sticky so I had to wipe it down after I opened it and removed the plastic ring seal.
I took a spoonful and ate it. Oh my goodness, this matched the raw honeycomb I ate and then some. So sweet it hurt my teeth but oh so good. I put half a teaspoon in a cup of hot green tea and enjoyed it immensely.
My wife tried a bite and couldn't handle how rich it is (she doesn't do sweets at all) but was amazed at how a little bit sweetened up her coffee.
I'll add later if I see any health benefits but so far I'm impressed.
Update; so I'm on my second jar and spring has sprung in the Midwest. Normally my sinuses go haywire once everything starts blooming and I have to go on daily Claritin and/or Flonase until the fall. Knock on wood, no issues so far and it seems likely it's because of this product. I haven't changed anything else.
I will also point out they need better packaging. The first jar the product oozed out of the top as noted above even while sealed. The second jar had a different taste and color which I just chalked up to different bees etc (it wasn't bad). A day or two later I noticed the lid had a crack around the rim that I hadn't noticed when I received it that probably led to some dust infiltration and violated the seal during shipping. I heated the jar up and poured the product into a mason jar and have been using the mason jar since. I probably should have sent the damaged jar back, but this stuff is so good I didn't want to go without it.
Update: The most recent jar was much thinner and darker than others. Still the same great taste but also a higher concentration of black grit at the bottom of the jar. I store it upside down for a couple days and it seemed to thicken up, still has the same taste, maybe a bit more like molasses but still good. Also, since I've been consuming this all summer and into fall, no sinus issues and very little allergy reactions. Very unusual for me. This item is the only consistent change to my routine this year so I'll keep going with it.
