A new purveyor of raw honey focuses on beekeepers.
The team at Adagio is branching out again, this time into the realm of raw honey. With a history of fostering relationships with tea, coffee and spice farmers, Adagio has now turned its sights toward domestic beekeepers. The new website adagiobees.com will feature raw honey like sourwood, tupelo, meadowfoam, and other unique varieties sources directly from beekeepers.
Beekeepers consistently lose colonies, which puts a heavy burden on them to recoup those losses, according to Geoffrey Williams, an entomology professor at Auburn University. Adagio's practice of working directly with beekeepers allows them to keep a bigger share of the revenue for their products, building a cushion to help weather poor harvests and nature's other surprises.
Adagio's beekeepers are profiled on individual "know your beekeeper" pages, informing customers about the person behind the product and highlighting their methods, location, and everything that makes their honey unique. This will be especially interesting to consumers who are looking for ethical, locally sourced honey whose lineage can be traced all the way back to the hive.

Premium raw honey, sourced directly from beekeepers.
Raw honey differs greatly from the honey sold in supermarkets. Many are adulterated with corn syrup and similar fillers. Others have been pasteurized, causing them to lose valuable health benefits. Most are striped of pollen, resulting in little more than "honey-flavored sugary syrup."
Unpasteurized raw honey contains many vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and antioxidants including flavonoids and phenolic acids. It has antibacterial and antifungal properties that help heal wounds. Some studies even link the consumption of raw honey to lower blood pressure and improved heart function.

With the impending launch of Adagio Bees, consumers will have a chance to enjoy a wide range of raw honey and support this nation's beekeepers.
