The bees let us know when their honey is ready, and we only collect extra honey that the colony doesn't need.
The bees place a white cap of wax over honey that is ready to be collected, this honey is at the perfect water concentration for permanent storage.
All honey is carefully hand extracted at the Apiary.
We use a combination of heated and cold knives to remove the top wax coating and expose the honey.
The honey is spun out of the comb and filtered to remove wax.
Finally, the all natural honey is jarred and ready to be enjoyed!
Thank you for your interest in our local honey!!
Our business is classified as a cottage food product, which prevents us from participating in online sales. However, we sell our limited supply of honey in person. Currently, we have no dates or plans for a honey stand or farmers market presence, but that is subject to change if our bees increase our supply!
If you live in the Fort Myers area, please contact us for information on getting your hands on some!
