The Full Story
Our Process
All of our honey is ethically sourced from our very own hives. But what goes into the creation of our specialty honey? Naturally occurring flora including wild flowers, heirloom garden plants and fruit trees creating perfect forage, free of pesticides and harmful fertilizers. This wonderful biodiversity is integral to honeybee health. You can taste the difference!

How We Make It
Bessie Bee Honey is harvested during the summer months from the surplus of honey the bees produce. The honey is extracted 2 to 3 times over the summer. It is strained but not filtered or heat treated and remains unpasteurized.
