Brad, Owner and Beekeeper, Country Road Bees
As bees collect nectar, they also collect pollen which provides food for young bees and the Queen. Curing is the process bees use to make honey from the nectar, during which they remove water and add enzymes. Commercial big box honey producers often use high heat and filtration to extend shelf life, but that removes the pollen and destroys the enzymes. Our RAW honey is never heated above 90 degrees or fine filtered, so the health benefits remain in the honey you consume.
Honey flavor, color, and aroma are set by the type of nectar collected. These differences are captured at Country Road Bees by harvesting small batches throughout the year, from each of the different apiary locations. Now sold out of 2021 honey, look for honey descriptions as the 2022 flows commence
