The Langnese honey quality and variety

Langnese has its own bee farms and quality check starts there, the farms inspect the honey before sending it for packing. Once it reaches the main plant, Langnese employs the latest scientific methods to check the quality of its product. 

Producing a varied rage of honey, the basic ones are pure bee honey and white honey. Some of the other plants they use include acacia, the linden tree and lavender. Their black forest honey is also famous, this form of honey is not made from the nectar of flowers but from the secretions of plant-sucking insects such as aphids.

The more expensive and special honey that Langnese produces includes manuka and royal jelly. Manuka honey is made from just the manuka plant, it is often sold as a form of alternative medicine. Considered to be good for the health. Royal jelly is the special food produced for the queen bee and larvae. In fact, the feeding of royal jelly to a female larva in larger quantities is what triggers its becoming a queen later, with large active ovaries. There are many claims of manuka honey and royal jelly being very good for the health, but there isn't yet a conclusive study aside from the fact that honey is generally good for the health.
