About my Honey

My honey is not heated or treated nor is it blended with honey from other sources. It retains the beneficial nutrients and antioxidants that honey naturally contains. I consider this to be the definition of "raw" honey.

I generally only have two hives that I harvest in mid to late summer. Once the honey frames are ready, I extract the honey with a manual extractor and filter it through cheesecloth and a double stainless steel sieve. The honey is filtered in to a bucket with a valve which allows me to then pour the honey directly in to glass jars.

You might be surprised to know my hives can produce anywhere from 75 to 150 lbs of honey during a season. I only harvest half of it and leave plenty in the hives for the bees so they have enough food to survive our New England winter.
