FAQs
What are the benefits of local raw honey?
Our local raw honey is packed with antioxidants, enzymes, and nutrients that can boost your immune system, soothe sore throats, and improve digestion. Many people report relief of allergies when using local, raw honey, but scientific evidence is still limited. It’s best viewed as a traditional home remedy rather than a guaranteed treatment. It's also a great natural sweetener.
Why is my honey or honeycomb crystallizing?
Crystallization is completely natural and doesn’t affect quality or flavor. In fact, it’s a sign you’re enjoying real, raw honey. Over time, the natural sugars and enzymes cause honey to thicken or form crystals, and different floral varieties crystallize at different rates. Honeycomb can also crystallize because it comes straight from the hive and retains all its natural goodness.
How can I de-crystallize it?
Simply place the jar—or sealed piece of honeycomb—in warm (not hot) water and let it gently liquefy. You can also set it on a sunny windowsill. Just be sure to keep water out of the honey. Crystallized honey is perfectly safe, and many people love its creamy texture just as it is.
Is honeycomb edible?
Yes! The entire honeycomb, including the wax, is edible. Enjoy it by the spoonful, spread it on toast, pair it with cheeses, or stir it into warm dishes. The wax is soft and pleasantly chewy; some people eat it entirely, while others chew it like gum and discard the wax afterward.
What’s the shelf life of honey?
Honey doesn’t spoil. It’s naturally long-lasting, though we include expiration dates to meet retail requirements.
Can babies have honey?
Honey can contain natural spores that infants can’t safely process. Once a child is over one year old, honey is considered safe for them to enjoy.
