Q: What are the speckled particles I see in the layer on top of the honey?

A: What you see upon opening the jar is a layer of honeycomb mixed with bits of propolis and pollen. The honeycomb is lighter than the honey and so it rises to the top during crystallization with some pollen and propolis adhering to it. All are naturally occurring and beneficial hive products.

Q: Why is the honey white and solid instead of amber and liquid?

A: This is because the honey is not heated and it crystallizes (hardens) this way naturally. This is what happens naturally in the hive. Just like a cooked vegetable will be different in color, flavor, texture, and nutritional value from a raw vegetable, the same is true for raw honey vs. heated (cooked) honey.
