Honey Bees ...
Healthy
bees make healthy honey.
Unlike most commercial beekeepers,
we don't feed our bees “preventative” antibiotics, nor do we
put heavy chemicals like coumaphos and fluvalinate in our
hives. These chemicals are highly dangerous, and can leave
chemical residues in wax and honey for years after their
use.
We collect honey, wax and pollen from our 70+ colonies,
and are never afraid to use them. We never had to worry
about the recent Chinese honey contamination, because we
had o ur own that we knew was clean.
Our honey is never
heated or forced through a super-fine filter, so it still
has small particles of wax, pollen, and propolis in it..
These microscopic bits are the powerful healing formula in
our local raw honey.
Raw honey has been used medicinally
throughout history. People have used it for
everything from the common cold to stomach ulcers, allergies
to burns; it soothes, coats, and heals. We could tell you
personal stories of horrible burns healing without even a
scar, having been treated simply with raw honey and a green
leaf. You can't get these results from ultra-pasteurized
super-filtered grocery-store honey.
We also sell bee pollen,
another anti- allergy immune booster. We sell ours
fresh-frozen, not dried, to retain the flavor, nutrients,
and naturally occurring amino acids found in fresh pollen.
Our unbleached beeswax is sold bulk for use in cosmetics and
soaps, or as 100% beeswax candles. Beeswax is expensive,
second only to bayberry wax in its rarity. This is because
it takes nine pounds of honey (¾ of a gallon) to make only
one pound of wax. Rarer still is beeswax without chemical
residues to mar it's purity. Our beeswax is chemical free,
and when you burn our candles you can rest assured that
while they fill your house with the sweet scent of
honeycomb, they will be filtering impurities from your air,
not adding to them.
Ask for a taste of our honey when you stop in.
