Raw Local Spring Wildflower Honey, 2lb (Glass)

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.

Spring wildflower honey typically has a light, sweet, and floral taste with subtle fruity notes, varying slightly depending on the specific wildflowers in bloom during the honey production period.

Flavor Profile:

• Sweet and Floral: The dominant flavor is a pleasant sweetness, often described as floral, with undertones of the various wildflowers the bees have foraged from.
• Fruity Notes: Some spring wildflower honeys can have subtle fruity notes, adding to the complexity of the flavor.
• Light and Mild: Compared to darker, late-season honeys, spring wildflower honey is generally lighter in both taste and color.

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!
