Title: Why this Honey is very expensive?
Post by: sidr on September 03, 2011, 11:53:11 AM
I just read a topic about this honey called Yemen Sidr Honey. The topic mentioned that this honey is reputed to have many medicinal benefits and has an unusually high level of antioxidants. I also read that Sidr Honey increases sexual potency and helps with conception.

I googled the name of this honey,they sell each 1 kg for about $160  :shock:

Why this honey is expensive? have anyone of you tried this honey before?
I want to try it, but I want to see if somebody had it before? Does it deserve this much?

Waiting for your responses.

Thanks

Sidr honey is reputed to have many medicinal benefits ...

The original poster posts similar crap in other bee forums.  Don't bother to answer this.  You are wasting your time.

Sidr, I believe you got banned from the Got Mead web page for posting this exact same thread about your honey.
