-
Ensures that your honey is raw and unadulterated
This test measures the activity of glucose oxidase, an enzyme crucial for honey's antimicrobial and wound-healing abilities. By confirming the presence of this
enzyme, the test verifies that the honey maintains its full health benefits. -
Empowers you to make informed decisions
This is especially important for those who rely on honey for its therapeutic properties. The test helps you confidently select honey with proven health benefits.
-
It is easy to use at home
It requires only a small sample of honey, water, and a test strip, allowing you to easily check the quality of honey without any specialized equipment or
expertise.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to use the test
To activate the bee enzymes, you need to mix the honey with water. Read the detailed instructions here.
Why is the Active Honey Test unique?
Most honey tests are complex, expensive, and made for laboratories.
The Active Honey Test is different:
- Affordable – a budget-friendly option for every honey consumer
- Easy to use at home – no laboratory or specialized equipment required
- Focuses on the key enzyme (GOx) – not just secondary parameters
Traditional lab methods include: Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), Diastase Activity Index (DST), Pollen analysis, Sugar profile, Proline test, Electrical conductivity, Carbon isotope ratio, Invertase, and DNA tests.
What sets honey apart from other foods?
Honey is unique due to the presence of glucose oxidase, an enzyme found only in honey. When diluted, this enzyme produces hydrogen peroxide, a natural antibacterial agent. While other foods may contain more vitamins or polyphenols, honey’s distinct health benefits stem from this enzyme, making it a natural wonder.
What about a tracking number and a money-back guarantee?
Currently, the Active Honey Test is an innovative product in the research phase. While we don’t offer a money-back guarantee, you can receive the testing kit completely free of charge if you're hesitant. The kit fits into a standard envelope, making it affordable to ship worldwide. However, this shipping method doesn’t include tracking.

The test will arrive in a mail envelope, with no tracking or notification. The reagent on the test strips is very sensitive. Keep the test away from bright light. Store unused test strips in the refrigerator.
The test is not suitable for certain types of honey, specifically manuka and honeydew honey. The test is intended for home use, a full analysis of enzymes can only be carried out under laboratory conditions.
The test is easy to use. Make sure you follow the instructions as I had first done it without letting the honey sit 6-12 hours. When I did wait, I noticed great results. I also tested store bought honey and some water as a control. Mine was darker than the other honeys and the water had no colour.
Everything went smooth. From the arrival of the tests to how easy it is to understand what to do. I’m glad I buy honey from local beekeepers
Me a encantado poder hacer esta prueba de miel para comprobar su pureza y la verdad a sido todo en éxito. No me imaginaria yo que fuera tan pura está miel os recomiendo hacer la prueba.
Tested 2 types of Canadian raw honey- one from a retail brand and one from a local apiary. I was surprised to find that the retail brand was so active while the one from the local apiary had zero activity. Such a fun activity too and I also learned something new. I’m happy that I have some good and healthy honey.
Recientemente me llegó a casa una muestra gratuita de miel activa para testear la miel cruda procedente de mis abejas y el resultado ha sido satisfactorio, mostrando que mi miel es bioactiva.
El test consta de 5 tiras independientes, una tabla de colores para observar el resultado y las instrucciones para realizar las pruebas.
Sólo pongo una pequeña pega, ya que dependiendo del tipo de miel, la reacción de las tiras es más o menos activa, en mi caso con la miel de bosque, sale menor intensidad en la reacción de las tiras del test, lo cual está demostrado biológicamente, pero creo que de cara al consumidor final puede llevar a error y pensar que está comprando una miel de peor calidad sin ser así el caso. Por el contrario en mieles de castaño, que he probado también, sin problema, muestra perfectamente la actividad.
Laboratorios Olexalab están realizando una labor fascinante y es un placer formar parte de esta prueba científica que aún está en proceso.
