Verdict

Our pick: Real Mad Honey

Real Mad Honey wins the weighted score comfortably, on reputation, service and a review body it shows in full. Royal Mad Honey's answer is the most specific origin claim in the whole comparison — a real altitude band, the bee subspecies, a spring-only window — but it publishes no lab evidence and charges up to $1.20 per gram for it. Buy Royal for the story and the presentation; buy Real for reliability and a guarantee.
