"raw honey unheated in any way"

this is totally unrealistic. will the honey not be uncapped with a hot
knife? will you throw it away if it sugars in large containers? what about
honey from melting wax, throw it away? I am all for raw honey, but some heat
is necessary in most beekeeping operations. as long as the honey doesn't go
over 130F and is not held at high temps for long periods, I don't think it
is hurt by moderate heat. can you prove that it is? why create unrealistic,
unreasonable standards that most people cannot meet for no good reason?
