Legendary bee keeper Jeff Cripe sells the best honey in Indiana. This is from the spring season. According to Ayurveda, raw honey is a nectar. Cooked honey is considered a poison, becoming a homogenous glue that adheres to subtle channels of the body. There is a text which says ama (metabolic toxins) produced from consuming cooked honey is the most difficult to remove from the body. The rule is this: If it’s too hot for your pinky, it’s too hot for honey.
