Wildflower Honey! Raw, unheated, unfiltered! Infused with bee pollen and bee propolis!

Bees fly a 3-mile radius from their hive to harvest and there aren’t any polluted or toxic objects/areas around us. The honey comes from different wildflowers that the bees collect most of the summer. Some of the pollen and nectar sources around us are maple, pines, dandelion, apple, violets, lilacs, honeysuckle, wild roses, Japanese knotweed, peaches, red clover, and goldenrod to name a few.

In my beekeeping, I only use all-natural/organic sources, methods, and products. I do not use any chemicals and I do not feed my bees with sugar syrup like other beekeepers do. I keep my bees so that I can consume the honey and If I wanted a compromised honey I would buy some in a shop because there is no monetary benefit on such a small scale. I simply want the best honey for my family and I sell extra to cover some of the cost.

When harvesting and processing the honey I go with the basic and clean ways. My extractor is fully stainless steel, and my honey frames are made from wood, not plastic. I filter the honey only once through a double stainless steel honey strainer and I never subject it to heat (the beneficial enzymes in honey are heat sensitive and are destroyed in 115F or higher temperatures). I store the honey at 18-20 on a Refractometer.

Color varies from pale golden to dark amber. Each hive brings different honey in taste, aromas, and color at a different time of the season. For example, early summer honey that was extracted in July will be light, and late August-September honey will be dark because of the heavy flow of Goldenrod, Ironweed, and Japanese Knotweed.

Natural honey may crystalize. This is normal. Keep your honey jars in a warm dark place. If It crystalizes, you may place the jar in warm water to liquify it.

My bees: I keep wild bees. They came in a huge swarm summer of 2023 and stayed. From them, I made two more splits so this year I had 3 beautiful healthy hives that didn’t have any issues last winter and no diseases or the Varroa mites. I only treated them twice with oxalic acid and kept the hives clean, warm, and protected. They are less happy when I interact with them than regular breeds, but we get along just fine!

Packaging: I have different size glass jars which I wash and sterilize before pouring honey into them. Please reuse or recycle!
