About our honey

All of our honey is produced locally. Our apiary is located in Limestone County just west of the Limestone/Madison county line.

We coarse filter the honey so the naturally occurring pollen remains in the honey, and we do not pasteurize the honey or expose it to high temperatures that can darken honey and destroy the delicate flavors and aromas of natural honey.

A few notes about the honey harvest

We harvest honey (sometimes referred to as "robbing the bees") twice a year. The first harvest, the spring harvest, takes place in late May or early June. The second harvest is usually in late August or early September.

One of the things the bees do to transform nectar into honey is to reduce the water content of the nectar from 80 to 95 percent water down to 17.0-17.8 percent water. If the moisture content is higher than 17.8 percent the honey may ferment. When the bees decide that the moisture content is correct they cap the honey cells with wax. When most of the honey comb is capped we make our harvest.

A big factor in the timing of the harvest is the weather. Cool, rainy weather slows down nectar collection, and the drying process.
