This bush sometimes sounds like a transformer from all the buzzing of the bees.

The bee keeper gave us a couple of bottles of raw honey.

Pretty much all honey that you get from a beekeeper is "raw" and "unfiltered", at least, that's my understanding.

I have heard that some of the stuff that you get in huge chain stores, from huge outfits or that comes from overseas may be adulterated.

I believe the usual is to get the comb, cut the caps off the comb, and then either let it drain out or spin/centrifuge it to separate the honey from the comb, and from there it goes into containers. I believe it's not normally run through any sort of filter or processed (other than if you want flavored or maybe creamed honey).
