Q & A

Are the bees killed when you harvest the honey?

No, there is no need to kill the bees we simply remove extra frames of honey.

Do you filter the pollen from your honey?

We do not, we leave the natural properties in the honey so you can benefit from them.

Why don’t you pasteurize your honey?

Food is pasteurized to kill bacteria and extend freshness. We harvest our honey when it is high in sugar and low in moisture, which doesn’t offer bacteria a good environment in which to survive. Allowing you the opportunity to enjoy the natural health benefits the honey provides.

Can children eat raw honey?

Infants under the age of one do not possess the right level of acid in their stomachs to safely digest unpasteurized honey. We do not pasteurize our honey but many commercial brands sold in super markets do.

What should I do if my honey has crystalized?

Raw, natural honey crystalizes over time and when this happens there is nothing wrong with it. Simply put your jar of honey into a pot of warm water, bringing the water line to within 25% of the top of the jar. Remove the jar of honey and boil the pot of water. Carefully take the pot off the burner and gently place the opened jar of honey into the hot water.  Gently heat the honey, stirring occasionally until it is liquid again.  If you want to keep your honey unpasteurized, never boil the water with the jar of honey in the pot, and avoid microwaving your honey.

Does Honey go bad?

That depends on you; avoid getting other bacteria and added moisture in your honey jar and it should last for a very long time. Intact pots of honey have been found in the tombs of the Pharaohs.

Does “Blueberry Honey” taste like blueberries?

A natural honey can be labelled “blueberry” if 80% of the nectar comes from blueberries. The nectar from a blueberry flower doesn’t taste like the ripened berry itself, so it’s unlikely you will get the taste experience you expect unless artificial flavours have been added. Our honey contains no artificial flavours.
