Honey & Honeycomb
Q: Why is my honey/honeycomb crystallizing?
A: Crystallization is natural and doesnβt affect quality. Gently warm the jar in hot water to return it to liquid.
Crystallization is a natural process in raw, unpasteurized honeyβand a sign of purity! It occurs over time due to natural enzymes and varies by honey variety. Honeycomb may also crystallize, as it comes straight from the hive and retains all its natural nutrients.
Q: How can I de-crystallize it?
A: Place the jar or sealed honeycomb in warm (not hot) water, or let it gently warm on a sunny windowsill. Avoid getting water inside.
Crystallized honey is perfectly safe and just as deliciousβsome even prefer the texture!
Q: Is honeycomb edible?
A: Yes! Honeycomb is completely edible including the wax. You can enjoy it as-is, spread it on toast, pair it with cheese, or stir it into warm foods. The wax is soft, chewy, and safe to eat, though some people prefer to chew it like gum and discard it.
Q: Whatβs the shelf life of honey?
A: Honey never spoils, but we include expiration dates for retail compliance.
Q: Can honey help with allergies?
A: Many people say yesβespecially fresh, raw honeyβbut the science is still out.
Q: Why canβt babies under 1 have honey?
A: Raw honey may contain spores that can harm infants. Itβs safe for older kids and adults.
Bees & Sustainability
Q: Are bees really disappearing?
A: Yes. Habitat loss and pesticide exposure have caused major declines. We work to protect pollinators through education and action.
Q: What should I do if thereβs a swarm in my yard?
A: Donβt worry, swarms are usually harmless. Contact a local beekeeper for removal.
