OK, just wanted to be sure. I went ahead and bought a jar of the honey.
It's called 'Island of the Moon Apiaries.' When I got it out of the store and
into better light I could see that it is indeed cloudier than other honey and
has some little 'floaters' in it. So I guess I believe the 'unfiltered' claim.
The 'unheated' claim is sort of interesting because the back label reads:
'Our solar process warms the honey without any loss of nutrients, color,
or bouquet.' Looks like there's a phone number search & a phone call in
my near future. BTW no wax ring.

Interesting stuff. As always, thanks for your reply.
Cheers,
Martha
