Is local honey good for allergies?
Yes! Local honey from a farm within 30 miles of your location is helpful for allergies as the bees pollinate the plants, weeds and flowers that you may be allergic to. We suggest taking a tablespoon per day.
Will honey spoil?
No, honey never spoils. Pure honey may get thick or crystallize over time, but it’s still safe to eat! Good honey has been found in the Egyptian tombs!
How do I melt crystallized honey?
Just boil a pot of water, turn it off and set the honey bottle (glass bottles) in it. It will amber back out. Don’t microwave it! Plastic bottles can be set in a warm area or in the sunshine to amber out.
How should I store honey?
Don’t put it in the refridgerator or a cold room. Just leave it out on your counter.
What are the benefits of pure honey?
Rich in antioxidants, may lower risk of heart disease, sore throat and cough relief, a natural antibacterial and antifungal, wound healing, aids in digestion, allergy relief, moisturizes skin and hair.
How do you flavor your honey?
We don’t add flavor. Raw honey is straight from the hive. The flavor changes based on what the bees pollinate. In Spring, you get a lighter honey due to clover and other spring flowers. In Fall, you get darker honey after they pollinate wildflowers and other summer crops.
How many hives do you have?
We try to maintain 70-75 hives. We lose some every year and we are always adding more.
Are honeybees dying out?
Honeybee colonies saw a big decline in 2025, but have been relatively stable overall since 2008. Main threats are varroa mites, diseases, hive beetles, wax moths, pesticide exposure, cold weather. We need more beekeepers to help us save the honeybee!
