Fair Trade Certified for Beekeepers and the Bees and its Natural Habitat

The world has known greatly of the benefits of honey.

People are flocking the groceries to take honey as an alternative to sugar as well believing that honey can boost the immune system.

But let us also not forget that beekeepers need to be protected as well as the bees and their natural habitat. In so doing a Fair Trade Certified label is what we should look for when choosing the honey to buy.

Fair Trade Certified is Wholesome's guarantee that the farmers' cooperatives that supply Wholesome's sugar are paid fairly and directly. This product comes in two flavors: Amber Honey and Raw Honey.

Pauline McKee, Wholesome Sweeteners' vice president of marketing, said: "With the Fair Trade program, we are able to create business opportunities and a new sense of stability. The beekeepers are able to improve standards for their families, their communities and their honey, and protect precious rainforests and habitat.
