That's specialized terminology. I believe "raw" means the honey is natural and unpasteurized. "Active" would refer to the microorganisms (maybe bacteria) in the product, which are apparently supposed to be beneficial. I'm a language nerd, not a medical professional, but I believe honey should not be given to babies, since the active germs could be dangerous to anyone without a fully functioning immune system. Personally, I love honey.
