Raw Honey (Liquid)
Our honey production colonies are mostly located in the Pine Brook and Towaco sections of Montville Twp., with smaller harvests from Boonton Twp. The honey is raw and minimally filtered so it contains traces of pollen and propolis, all removed in commercial honey. We know what's blooming when and what our bees are working. This enables us to track and harvest premium varietal honeys such as linden and black locust. Some people ask us, "Doesn't honey all taste the same?" And we say, "Our honey is as different from the Chinese honey on supermarket shelves as a 100-year old Scotch is to moonshine!"
All orders are processed through PayPal but you do not need to have a PayPal account to pay by credit card.

How cute are these!? Three little 2 ounce baby bears, each holding a different honey variety: wildflower, linden-wildflower, and blueberry blossom. The bears come in an organza bag - your choice of white, ivory, wine, green,or green or wine with gold stars. They make a perfect gift for the honey lover in your life.

A very early honey, the crop is often rained out so we only have locust every two to three years. Pale, almost water white, with a flavor like eating a flower garden.

Made by bees pollinating blueberries in the Pine Barrens of NJ. Tastes like caramel! A favorite drizzled on apple slices.

We have had many requests for the ultimate natural honey: honey in the comb. We do not produce comb honey ourselves (although we plan to do some in 2013) but have purchased some from our friends at Stiles Apiaries in Fords, NJ. This is a special treat - the best natural chewing gum!

Japanese bamboo, or knotweed is an invasive shrub that bees use to make an amazing dark, rich honey in early fall. Almost black, the honey is rich and molasses-like, without the heavy mineral overtones of some dark honeys like buckwheat.
