Not to put too fine a point on it, but if you are really interested in raw,
unadulterated honey, the way to go is to raise and sell comb honey. Not only
is the best tasting, it's the cleanest and purest form.

Nobody has mentioned the effect that centifuging has on honey. It
incorporates air and often dirt into the honey. That is why we normally
settle out the foreign matter, and strain or even filter honey.

I am all for getting the best price for honey. But to sell dirty honey as
somehow superior to clean honey due to the presence of "enzymes" with no
documented benefit, seems dishonest to me.
