You can't. When bees brew honey, they often collect some poisonous pollen. After these poisonous pollen are brewed into honey, people are prone to poisoning when eating raw honey. In addition, honey is easily contaminated by bacteria during harvesting, so don't eat wild honey directly.

Zhou, an associate professor of entomology in the College of Plant Science and Technology of Huazhong Agricultural University, said that there are many reasons for "poisonous honey", and honey plants, that is, plants that collect pollen, are poisonous, which is the most reason for poisoning. He reminded the public not to eat wild honey of unknown origin in the street easily.

He analyzed that honey poisoning may be due to the pollution of honey during brewing and processing; It may also be because of the toxicity of bees themselves. For some people with allergies, eating it may cause poisoning; The most common situation is that the plants that collect pollen are poisonous. The pollen of this poisonous plant is harmless to bees, but it will be harmful to people if it is collected and brewed into honey.

For example, "Tripterygium wilfordii" is a botanical pesticide, which can extract alkaloids and be used to make pesticides. If this plant pollen is used to make honey, eating it may cause harm to human body.

Zhou also warned that wild honey, known as green food, sold on the street or in tourist areas is actually risky. Because we are not sure what kind of plant honey is collected from, regular nectar will indicate what kind of honey source it comes from, such as Sophora japonica and rape.
