Collection: LOST MEADOWS/GRAEME FOERS

We take great care when pulling frames of fresh honey from our hives. We either gently brush each frame of bees off with a bee brush or, we use an abandonment method. In both ways, we do not use any chemicals to drive the bees from the frames, or blowers to blow them off. If done right, honey harvesting can be a very simple, non-intrusive event for the honey bee hive.
Honey is often uncapped using a hot knife. The honey sizzles and boils off the knife. The first few times using a hot knife didn't feel right, it seemed to be cooking whatever honey it contacted. This lead us to use a cold knife when un-capping. It slices through the honey without sizzling or burning.
We also don't heat our honey before jarring, or use band heaters to re-liquify crystallized honey. Most of our honey goes from hive to jar in five days or less. If we need to store honey, we store it in our warm room, which keeps the honey at 94 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature provides a safe temperature for the honey, while reducing the chance of it crystallizing before jarring.
