The Honey Is Here !!
But in limited quantities

Wildflower Honey - 16oz. squeeze bottle
The Honey is here, the Honey is here...

We are always so excited when the first Honey of the season is available.  This first batch of honey is a small amount, so the quantities are limited, but it really tastes great.  The picture above is the very first bottle so you can see what it looks like, but it is much better to taste it.  Place your order now to make sure you get this special honey.
 
The bees have worked very hard this spring to find flowers that have enough nectar to make honey.  Here in the Suwanee, Georgia area, we have had lots of rain and while rain is good, it prevents the bees from flying out to the flowers and sometimes, the rain washes out the nectar from the flowers, leaving little to no nectar for the bees to collect and make honey.  So our first batch is not a large quantity, but there is more honey in the beehives – it is just not ready yet.  
 
Since flowers are different, they produce a different type of nectar and that makes the honey taste slightly different every year.  Wildflower honey is a unique combination of nectar and pollen from the flowers that our bees can fly to and bring back to the beehive.  Wildflower honey will always have slightly different colors and different taste, but what is always the same is the unmistakable rich flavor that comes from local, raw honey.  Taste the difference yourself.

Please put your name on our mailing list to be notified when honey is available.

We also have a new product - Beeswax Lotion Bars.  A mixture of beeswax, shea butter and essential oils to moisturize your skin.  Use on your hands, elbows, feet or body.  Hold in your hands a moment and the bar begins to soften with body heat.  Apply with the bar or your hands.  Comes in two sizes - Small:  fits in the palm of your hand (with an embossed bee on top) and Large: a contoured shape that is easy to hold when applying.  Try it and let us know how you like it.

Help the bees

One way to help the bees and pollinators in your area is to plant wildflowers.  This will give them a variety of food (pollen) to eat so they can raise bees and gather nectar to make honey. If we help the bees, they will also help us too.
Please note that when you click the Amazon link and make a purchase, a portion of that purchase will be paid to us.  Funds received from your purchase will be used to help support the honeybees and make products available to you.  Thank you for your support.

Pure, raw wildflower honey is a mixture of nectar and pollen from the local flowers of the area.  Our honey is strained (not micro filtered) to ensure the best benefits of local, raw honey remain inside the honey.  I am a local beekeeper in Suwanee, GA that collects honey and beeswax from my bees.  Honey can be used for extra sweetness and texture for recipes, a flavor enhancer in tea or smoothies and as a topping for bread, cereal or anything else that needs something special.  The bees also make beeswax to store the honey in the beehive.  We collect a portion of that beeswax and use it in making candles, lip balm and lotion bars.  

Honeybees are very important to all of us.  They pollinate flowers that give us our food (fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc) - many of the foods would not even be here if it were not for the honeybee.  They make honey that can be used in many ways beyond a sweetener.  They create beeswax that has been used to seal or waterproof items, protect the skin or give us light.  They collect resins to make propolis - a mixture that is used by the bees to give the beehive anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, but there are many studies still discovering the many benefits of what comes from honeybees.  

All of us can help to make sure these creatures stay around.  
  • Plant bee friendly wildflowers, shrubs and trees.  We can all use something that looks pretty, smells great and give us some shade.
  • Use pollinator friendly pesticides in the late evenings when the bees have returned to their homes.  
  • If you have a yard or land with clover or goldenrod, consider not spraying for weeds and mow less often.  Give the bees a chance to collect some of that precious nectar.  It provides variety in their diet and helps them to save some food for winter.
  • Support a beekeeper.  Buy honey and other products from a local beekeeper.  They are helping to increase and preserve the honeybee population.
  • Provide space to a beekeeper.  Maybe you have land somewhere that could benefit from beehives.  
  • Become a beekeeper.  Just one hive can make a difference and the difference can be you.  You may even want to get more.
