We want to shout out another local business, Savor The Rise Olive Oil Co.
If you use our honey for health reasons consider adding olive oil to your daily health routine!
We sought out Savor The Rise at 6 Main St in Lockport and received an abundance of excellent information and delicious olive oils! They also stock many varieties of balsamic vinegar and gourmet food and gift items.

After extracting honey to be bottled we leave some honeycomb/beeswax out for our bees, to thank them for giving us some delicious raw honey! It’s like giving candy to the kids! They clean every last bit of honey from the wax

CARPENTER BEES ! ?? !
We too have them so you’re not alone! But we don’t want to hurt our other valuable pollinators ,attempting to get rid of them , so we have found a great way to exterminate them and move them on …. That doesn’t involve pesticides.
Jim made this trap but you can find similar traps for sale.
This has been very sucessful for us! Other suggestions that work well for wasps is to hang a simple brown bag that mimics a hornets nest ( which is their predator ).

BOTTOM LINE….. protect our honey bees by not using pesticides,

Celebrate by “bee-ing” pollinator friendly!

If Your Honey Has Crystallized, Here’s What It Really Means

If you’ve opened a jar of honey and noticed that it looks grainy, thick, or even solid — don’t worry. This natural process is called crystallization, and it’s actually a sign that your honey is pure and high quality.

What Is Crystallized Honey?

Crystallization happens when the natural sugars in honey — mainly glucose and fructose — begin to separate. Glucose forms crystals, while fructose stays liquid. Over time, the crystals grow, turning the honey from smooth and golden to thick, cloudy, or even grainy.

Why Does Honey Crystallize?

Several natural factors affect how quickly honey crystallizes:
• High Glucose Content: Honeys like sunflower, clover, and wildflower crystallize faster than acacia or tupelo honey, which have more fructose.
• Cool Temperatures: Honey stored below room temperature (especially under 10°C / 50°F) crystallizes faster.
• Pollen and Wax: Raw or unfiltered honey contains tiny particles that give crystals a place to start forming.

What Crystallized Honey Means
• It’s real: Crystallization is a good sign your honey hasn’t been overly processed or diluted with syrup.
• It’s raw or minimally filtered: Natural components like pollen, enzymes, and wax promote healthy crystal formation.
• It’s safe and still nutritious: Crystallized honey retains all the enzymes, antioxidants, and antibacterial properties of liquid honey.

Can You Use Crystallized Honey?

Absolutely. Crystallized honey:
• Spreads easily on toast or bread
• Is perfect for baking or sweetening tea
• Can be returned to liquid by placing the jar in warm (not boiling) water for 10–15 minutes

Avoid the microwave, as overheating can destroy honey’s beneficial enzymes.

Final Thought

Crystallization is not spoilage — it’s nature’s seal of quality. If your honey has turned solid or grainy, celebrate it. You’re holding a jar of pure, unadulterated sweetness, just as the bees made it
