Okay, what temeperatures make up a product classified as raw ? I dont know, I heard it was 40 maybe ??

In most raw food diet books, foods heated below 110 degrees are considered raw. If you dehydrate foods they are heated well above 60 degrees.

Are you talking 66F or 66C?

[freshlight]

must be C in UK (?) Everything under 40°C is raw afaIk

[rayofsunshine]

ahh yes, Uk would be different. I was thinking F.

Well I rang a different company, they said they heat it to hive temperature , which occurs naturally . Anyone know about this ??

I found this on google

''the bees cluster in large numbers, maintaining a hive temperature of 94°, which keeps the wax firm but workable during cell construction.''

So im presuming the company heat it to that temeprature themselves, so it is heated, just not high enough to kill off all the enzymes nutrients etc.

... and would that be 94 degrees F or C? THAT makes the difference. I'm thinking F.

[fuggles]

must be 94 farenheit, since the number 94 was referring to the heat they generate naturally, which is 35 celcius, which sounds right

There's your answer then.
