Just like fruits and vegetables, honey is a seasonal “crop”. The bees forage for pollen in the spring and early summer during what beekeepers call the “honey flow.” Once the bees fill a frame with honey and cap the cells with wax, the honey frames are ready for extracting. Some beekeepers extract again in the early fall but we leave that late summer honey for the bees to eat during the winter.
After the honey is extracted, it is ready to be poured into jars and sold. Since summer is the only time during the year that we extract honey from the hives, once this crop has been sold there won’t be any more honey available until the following summer.
We hope you find our honey available all year, but please understand if it is out of stock. Be sure and check back with your favorite retailer after the honey flow to purchase some of our delicious honey!
Currently, we are not supplying any retailers, although you may find our honey still available to purchase at the retailers below.
However, we now sell honey and beeswax products at the downtown Cary Farmers Market once a month. To get notified when we will be at the market, please sign up for the Cary Farmers Market newsletter here.
Our beeswax products include: 100% beeswax candles, lip balms, lotion bars, skin creams/balms, wood conditioner (cutting boards), and beeswax wraps.
