Sorry I don't know the difference. But I always buy raw unprocessed propolis to strengthen my immune system during flu season.

the only way one would really know is to test it themselves. However. Organic India is a biodynamic, organic company. Biodynamics (Rudolf Steiner) is a belief system and way of treating the earth that is sacred and good. They use homeopathic preps to heal and harmonize the earth. I don't work for this company. I've never seen their farms, I've only researched them. If they are doing what they say they are doing, I have no reason to doubt them, there is nothing lead of toxic in them.

The company has confirmed that there is no difference whatsoever between the contents of the blue and "white" (beige) boxes. Only the packaging (appearance/colors/wording) is different. The white/beige box states on the package back: "Especially produced for the natural product industry." The "natural product" crowd is generally better educated and willing/able to spend more for what they perceive to be a more natural and superior product. In this case, they are spending more for exactly what is in the blue box. Even though the blue box doesn't say things like "wild caught" or "pure" olive oil, the company confirmed that the two different boxes contain exactly the same product/ingredients. Case closed.

That's true. It does not have the world "organic" anywhere in the description. On the can itself it says that the company is a third generation family farm and that they use highest quality and freshest almonds. I hope this helps.

I don't feel comfortable answering this question. I suggest you Google the differences between natural and organic. You could also ask Bob's Red Mill the same question.

Technically, bee wax, pollen, and honey are animal products. No animal testing.

Originally I bought Garden of Life Raw Probiotics, which was in a blue box. The Raw Enzymes does come in a green box. I really don't know what difference there is in the two but I think I had better results with the Probiotics.

I'm not 100% sure, as it doesn't say.. I would contact E.S. Eco, but usually everything they use is organic... I still use it and I'm pretty extreme being 100% raw vegan. If you want real bee pollen granules, not cut with any filler, get Really Raw High Desert Bee pollen... It might be a little more $ but it's worth it.. I still use both though.. Hope this helps. take care

By about the cost of a $500 fee to the California state government to label the fields as "organic." According to the Nutribiotic website, both are Non-GMO and grown without pesticides and fertilizers. Both are processed using only filtered water and enzymes. The organic variety is guaranteed to come only from registered organic farms.

You can read more about them from this website;http://www.ysorganic.com/history.htmlHowever the product I purchased says it's headquarters are in Sheridan Illinois but that the product itself is either from Brazil or Canada. Hope this helps! ^_^ Since then I've talked to people who had actual organic farms in the states before the contamination made it impossible (I live in TN) and that this tastes authentic although their memory of their own honey is of course superior, hehe. Try it and review the company page I sent you. -Dani.

The Honey that is harvested is Organically raised without pesticides. It has nothing to do with inorganic materials.

Hi Leighann,The company is based in Baltimore, Maryland. However, the bee farms are actually all located in upstate New York. -Adriel LubarskyNaturalSweetiewww.NaturalSweetie.biz

No. I found this on the web:"Nature's way not only cares about the use of GMO free and organic raw materials that are pesticide and herbicide free, but they also care about sustainability, and the health of our planet. "

Well plants are plants. As long as the area where they are grown is organic I am fine with it.I personally have a hive for honey, but I don't collect the pollen, might someday try. This pollen is nice. It is packed with every nutrient your body needs.

Bees can go from flower to flower and they don't care which flower it is. I do believe that this company, YS, has one planted flower they use or several which end up having the same color pollen that the bees use to make honey. The companies I have dealt with have one flower and only one flower they plant for their bees. If you look at the honey from Australia you will find that they have their bees go after a special flower that ends up being very dark honey. It really depends on the pollen and the flowers. Most bees can travel 5 miles so the bee farmer can plant thousands of the same flower within a area that the bees will stay in, this is how honey can be Organic, other wise most farmers will rely on the bee to find the flowers which can be sprayed with chemicals.

I paid $37.99 with free shipping for a 4 pack of Y.S. Eco Bee Farms Raw Honey from a different seller earlier in 2014. The price will vary with availability, but it's definitely a case of Buyer Beware!

Just Nutritional yeast. The difference between "Organic" and "Natural is the Natural yeast they add synthetic vitamins to the yeast especially, Vitamin B12 because it is a little lower in this vitamin. They also grow the yeast on sugar beets which are GMO'd. Starwest grows theirs on molasses. Starwest Botanicals Nutritional Yeast is just yeast. Very good quality.
