We've
been raising bees for about ten years now and thought it would be a good
idea to put it on the web site. It's a summer project that we have come
to enjoy at the hobby level. We usually care for about 10 hives
but have had as much as 15 and as little as 5 hives. The whole
family will get involved at times and except for the hottest days or the
occasional aggressive hive, we've come to enjoy working with the bees.
Our customers have said that our honey is exceptional
in flavor. it would make sense because of an abundance of the top
five honey sources in our area - White Clover, Basswood, Trefoil, Sumac,
and Buckwheat. The honey we sell is raw (un-pasteurized) therefore
it is considered to be in its natural state with the most nutrients
intact. It can harden in time but warming it in hot water will bring it
back to liquid state. All the processing is done with a hand extractor
therefore we don't sell in large bulk containers. The containers
range from 5lbs. down to 12 oz.
We also make a salve with the wax. It comes in
stick form like lip gloss or in a purse sized flat or in 4 oz. family
sized container. It is great for any kind of skin condition,
dryness, cuts, burns etc.
