Honey is just the beginning!
I n addition to delicious raw honey, we have other products made from the beeswax the bees produce for their hives. We have beeswax candles in various shapes, sizes and colors, lip balm, and hand and body cream. They are made from all natural ingredients with no artificial preservatives. Because the lip balm and hand/body creams contain all natural beeswax, they also provide all of the health benefits that honey bees put into their beeswax and a very healthy alternative to the petroleum based products found in stores. Beeswax candles burn brighter and longer than parafin candles and without the smokey residue and soot which may occur with the parafin candles.
Pure Wildflower Honey
Honey is harvested each year from local beehives, while leaving sufficient honey in the hives for the colonys’ needs over the winter. Honey is extracted with very light filtering to remove larger pieces of beeswax while allowing all of the natural goodness to stay with the honey. This honey is neither heated nor ultra- filtered so as to preserve all of the healthy benefits of local honey. Honey is typically bottled in both glass containters and squeeze bottles with flip-top lids for easy dispensing. Squeeze bottles are all BPA-free. The first harvest of the year is usually in late June or early July. Sometimes demands exceed supply, so contact us to make sure there is sufficient inventory for your needs. Bottles are typically 16 oz and 32 oz containers. Special orders are also possible for larger quantities and packaging.
Nucleus hives
Five frame nucleus hives are made each year consisting of a laying queen and 4-5 frames of brood and nectar. These nucleus hives can be transferred to eight or ten frame hive bodies which should quickly build up a colony in time for the nectar flow with sufficient numbers to gather nectar and pollen for the season. Some may even grow sufficiently to produce excess honey for the beekeeper, although typically first year hives should be allowed to retain all of their nectar and pollen for the survival of the colony over the winter months.
Queens
Local queens are raised from survivor stock from only the strongest colonies. Queens from local colonies are carefully selected to produce queens that reflect the strength, calm behavior, and other positve traits that beekeepers seek in replacement queens.
