FAQs

Raw honey, is the original sweet liquid that honeybees produce from the concentrated nectar of flowers. It is unheated, unprocessed unpasteurized, honey. Real raw honey comes straight from the beehive. Most of store bought honey is heated at high temperatures to obtain a longer shelf life. These could also contain high fructose corn syrup. Our honey is pure and does not include any artificial chemicals or processes.

Honey should never be microwaved as it will lose its original flavor and nutrients. If honey becomes crystallized, you should run it under warm water at the lowest temperature possible for a long period of time to de-crystallize it without killing enzymes.

Honey has an unlimited shelf life. If it becomes crystalized, gently warm it up and it will return back to its liquid form.

If you discover a bee hive, please do not attempt to take it down or hit it with an object. This will cause the bees to come out and they may sting you to protect their colony.
