Customer Questions About Raw Honey
-
Is all honey the same?Answered by Marek: Every honey is different because bees choose flowers they like most or those which are the closest. To be able to have Honeydew honey for example, we move the beehives into forests where it's easiest for the bees to harvest the honeydew. We provide the honey as it is and as the bees produced it. That's why our Honeydew honey has a woody aroma!
-
Do you use a sugar substitute when taking the honey out of your hives?Answered by Marek: Besides feeding, bees use the honey as a temperature stabiliser. Hence most of the frames with brood have honey surrounding the brood to protect it from temperature drops at nights. We obviously can't take brood frames out and we also keep at least one frame with honey each side of the brood frames. That way brood is protected and our bees have more than enough honey for their own needs.

Tip 2: Crystallisation is a natural process honey and it does not affect the quality. Simply heat the jar in Bain Marie, stir and repeat 2-3 times.
