Local, Raw, and Unfiltered Honey

Our Local Raw Honey is harvested frame by frame unlike commercial beekeepers that harvest hundreds of boxes at a time.

We then uncap our honey frames with a tool used to poke holes in the honey cells. This process avoids removing too much wax so that when we return the frames back to the hives, the bees don’t have to work too hard to refill them. It takes bees 8lbs of honey to produce 1lb of wax, so if we can help them save it, we will.

We then extract our honey 3 frames at a time and as it pours into our BPA free 5 gallon containers we strain it to 600 microns to remove pieces of wax and propolis.

Once the 5 gallon bucket is full we transfer the honey into another BPA free 5 gallon bucket and strain it to 400 microns to permit some pollen particles to pass but ensuring a clean ready to eat honey.

Most commercial beekeepers will heat honey so that it can be bottled easily and fast using machinery. Our honey is not pasteurized or heated to avoid killing the natural enzymes that make honey extremely valuable in natural remedies. Our bottling process may take some time as we do it by hand one bottle at a time to ensure that we take good care of this golden elixir.
