Wildflower Honey! Organic, raw, unheated, unfiltered! Infused with bee pollen and bee propolis!
I can honestly testify that there aren’t any toxins in my bees’ honey! Bees fly a 3-mile radius from their hive to harvest and there aren’t any polluted or toxic objects/areas around us. The honey comes from different wildflower blossoms that the bees collect most of the summer. Some of the pollen and nectar sources around us are maple, pines, dandelion, apple, violets, lilacs, honeysuckle, wild roses, Japanese knotweed, peaches, red clover, goldenrod to name a few.
In my beekeeping, I only use all-natural/organic sources/products.
When harvesting and processing the honey I go with the basic and clean ways. My extractor is fully stainless steel, my honey frames are made from wood, not plastic. I filter the honey only ones through a double stainless steel honey strainer and I never subject it to heat (the beneficial enzymes in honey are heat sensitive and are destroyed in 115F or higher temperatures). I store the honey at 18-20 on a Refractometer (a device that reads water content in honey).
Color varies from pale golden to dark amber. Each hive brings different honey in taste and color at a different time of the season. For example, early summer honey that was extracted in July will be light, and late August-early September honey will be dark because of the heavy flow of Goldenrod, Ironweed, and Japanese Knotweed.
Natural honey may crystalize. This is absolutely normal and actually welcomed.
My bees: I keep local mixed breed bees that were bread by a local beekeeper to be able to withstand our cold winters, diseases, and the Varroa mites.
