Honey technically lasts forever. But there are some tips to keep it in its best shape.

Storage Tips: Honey is best stored at temperatures above 77°F to avoid crystallization. The lower the temp, the faster the honey will crystallize.

Crystallization: If it's the real deal raw honey (never heated or altered in any way), it will eventually turn solid and crystallize. If crystallized honey is left for too long, it will ferment. There's nothing you can do to prevent this. 

How to De-Crystallize Honey: Take a large bowl, fill it with warm water, and let your honey sit in it until the crystals melt away. Just make sure to heat the honey to no more than 104F to maintain all the beneficial microbiology.

Mountain wildflower honey typically has a rich, complex, and floral flavor with earthy or fruity undertones, depending on the specific wildflowers the bees forage from. Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Flavor Profile:

  • Floral Notes: The dominant flavor is floral, reflecting the nectar sources, and can include notes of various wildflowers.
  • Earthy Undertones: A subtle earthy or herbal finish, adding to the complexity.
  • Fruity Notes: Depending on the wildflowers, you might also detect fruity notes, like berries or citrus.
  • Robust and Distinctive: Mountain wildflower honey is often described as having a robust and distinctive taste, holding up well against strong flavors.

Our raw honey is made the way nature intended, working with the bees instead of against them.

Our bees are always given access to blooming flowers to gather nectar from. Bees are efficient and will fly the shortest distance to gather food. We make sure that our bees have plenty of chemical-free flowers to forage from, so we don't get any chemicals or GMO pollen in the honey.

If they are wintering over, the bees are given their own honey to feed on. They are NEVER fed high fructose corn syrup.

When the honey is harvested, a warm knife is used to cap the hive frames. This removes the thin layer of beeswax so the honey can be extracted.

Then, the frames are spun really fast to extract the honey without heat.

The honey goes through a thick mesh filter. This removes any bee parts of big particles from the honey. It leaves you with raw honey with pollen and all the good stuff included!
+
Has your honey been tested for glyphosate?
No, it has not. Our beekeeper is confident that his bees have enough chemical-free area to forage from and doesn't need verification.

Is the honey really pure and raw?

Yes, absolutely! We don't add anything to the honey. It's pure. And we never heat it. In fact, our beekeeper freezes the honey that he won't bottle right away to keep it in its purest condition (other bee farmers keep their "raw" honey warm).

Welsh Mountain Apiaries uses Mite Away Quick Strips for mite control. The only ingredient is formic acid, which is an organic acid already present in honey.
