Real honey is a natural, additive-free product produced by bees collecting nectar from flowers found in nature and processing it entirely with their own enzymes, without any external intervention. It contains no sugar, glucose syrup, flavorings, additives, or preservatives.

Some distinguishing features of real honey are:

• May crystallize: Real honey may crystallize (crystallize) over time. This is not a sign of spoilage, but rather a sign of naturalness.
• Contains natural enzymes: It is rich in antioxidants and proteins from bees, such as proline.
• Low HMF value: Not heat treated; nutritional value preserved.
• Its source is clear: It can be traced where and from which flowers it was obtained.
• Produced without giving sugar to bees: Sugar is not given to bees to increase production, so the structure of the honey is not damaged.

In short, real honey comes only from nature and bees — not from humans.

Anatolia Bee beekeeping products offer you honey obtained naturally from the nectar of endemic plants.

Endemic plants are plants that grow only in certain regions and are not found naturally anywhere else.

Thanks to the nectar from these plants, honey:

• It contains richer flavonoids and phenolic compounds → which increases antioxidant capacity .
• It is an indicator of naturalness with its high proline value .
• Its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting effects may be stronger.
• It offers a different aromatic and chemical profile → its flavor and smell become more characteristic.

For example: Endemic plants such as Astragalus , Wild Thyme , Mullein, Thyme and Wild Mint in the Yüksekova region offer nectar that is much richer in antioxidant components than the flowers in the flat plains .
