Why Raw Honey?
The bee keeping industry is one of vast opportunities.
Many in this profession have found adventure and profits
in soap and candle making, lotions, balms, and other
natural products; all extracted from their backyard bee
hives. Although these vending diversities are available to
us, we strive to produce only a few wares and produce
them well.
Many Customers purchase our honey not only because
it’s truly tasty, but because it’s raw, pollen laden, and
local. You can be certain that it is produced here in your
state and carries familiar pollen which has maximum
health benefits. When you read the fine print on other
brands, you discover that it is a product of Canada,
Argentina, India, Uruguay, China, and wherever the
packer can find it cheapest. When honey prices are on
the rise, some deceptive packers actually mix strong
flavored honey to a high fructose corn syrup base. The
complexion of the adulterated result is attractive, the
mixture is thick, but it’s not honey.
The honey produced in our state will vary in color and
taste with each season. Our bees forage in clover, vetch,
various fruit and berries, and other spring blooms which
produce a very light honey. As the year progresses,
different summer and fall blooms produce a darker and
often robust flavor. Beware of “local” producers whose
honey has the same presentation year round. It is
probably being purchased from other states and thereby
at a loss for optimum health benefit.
