Manuka honey specificity

Manuka Honey is produced by bees that gather nectar from the flowers of Manuka Tree (Leptospermum Scoparium). Manuka tree or shrub grows wild on undeveloped land and the hills of New Zealand.
Not every honey, collected from the flowers of the Manuka tree has a certified UMF ® activity. In some areas, the trees do not produce Manuka honey, which contains the same number of UMF ® each year. For this reason, each batch of Manuka Honey is tested after packaging of honey in jars, to ensure accurate labeling properties of UMF ®.  Presence of hydrogen peroxide in all kinds of honey is due to the action of an enzyme that is added by bees to honey. Specificity of UMF ® is that this chemical property honey obtains with phytochemicals – that is, directly from the nectar of Manuka flowers.

Researchers still can not prove it, whether the factor UMF ® is derived from a certain subspecies of the Manuka bush, or is caused by some environmental factors such as soil quality. Furthermore, it is impossible to predict the level of UMF ® from year to year. Therefore, each batch is tested and certified after the honey has been packed.
