Aaron Said:

The Really Raw Honey product is basically honey as it comes out of the
extractor, period.
Never heated, never filtered, never strained.  Put a bucket under the
extractor and fill it up.  Really Raw makes a point of advertising the
product they sell as precisely what it is.

I personally looked at some of the Real Raw Honey jars and found a line
says: No Pesticides.

It came to my mind this though: If this product contains all of the wax
with honey, How much will this product have of pesticides' residues. As
beekeepers are using Coumaphos and Apistan for mite control. The residues
are known to be socked into the wax.

Did anyone ever though about taking samples and analyze them for residues?
or is this type of honey extracted from colonies never treated with
CheckMite or Apistan for varroa mite control?
