Frequently Asked Questions:
How should I store your honey?
Store honey at room temperature if possible. Storing at cold temperatures may accelerate crystallization of the honey (where it becomes more of a solid). However, crystalized honey is fine to eat, and in our opinion, actually concentrates the flavor!
How should I store your bee pollen?
Store the jar of pollen in your freezer if at all possible with the lid tightly closed. In order to provide the freshest product possible, our bee pollen was collected fresh from the hive and hasn’t been heated or dried. Storing in the freezer will maintain this freshness. Alternatively you can store in the refrigerator if you plan to use your pollen quickly, but freezing is best.
What type of honey do you offer / what types of flowers is your honey made from?
Our honey is a wildflower honey, meaning it’s composed of a variety of sources. Primary sources in our area include native plants like showy milkweed, curly-cup gumweed, and other native wildflowers and flowering shrubs / bushes such as sage and bitterbrush.
In addition our bees also commonly work naturalized sources like dandelion (dandelion is a critical first nectar source after long winters) and yellow sweet clover. Alfalfa, fruit trees and bushes, flowering garden plants of many kinds, and more are also commonly worked by our bees. The result is a honey that is quite unique. To preserve the taste and quality of the honey it’s never filtered or heated.
