Our honey is raw and unfiltered, which means it retains all of its natural enzymes and nutrients. It also has a unique flavor profile depending on the types of flowers our bees pollinate.

Raw honey is not heated or filtered, which means it retains all of its natural enzymes and nutrients. Processed honey is heated and filtered, which can remove some of the beneficial properties.

We keep honeybees (Apis mellifera) which are the most common type of bee used for honey production. We rely on wild bees and also introduce different queens occasionally to increase genetic diversity. 

No one really knows for sure, but at least thousands of years. Honey has been found in Egyptian tombs. All honey will eventually crystalize, which means it will lose its liquidity. Crystalized honey is still safe to eat and some people prefer it to liquid honey. 

Eat it! Joking aside, honey can be returned to its liquid state rather easily. You can place the jar in a crockpot filled with water on the "warm," not "low" setting for a few hours. Do not heat in a microwave or in boiling water. These high temperatures will destroy the beneficial enzymes and may give the honey a burnt taste.
