Springtime in Ohio Honeyland! Here is a picture of a honeybee on a lovely dandelion. The first flowers of the season!  You don't even have to go to the trouble of planting those lovely yellow flowers! We are happy to report that 75% of our hives made it through wintertime with 'flying' colors!  One hive was lost to a snow-mobiling accident, and the others - were not strong enough to make it through the cold temperatures

And WHERE to BUY Ohio Honey Our Apiary View

The term “raw” refers to honey when it remains in its unpasteurized state.  We do not pasteurize our honey.  If it is heated over approximately 118 degrees, honey will lose many of its healthy benefits such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, anti-oxidants, flavinoids and moreOur Honey is harvested the old-fashioned way, with no artificial heat. 

We have beehives located throughout Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula Counties—our honeybees are responsible for pollinating a wide variety of crops.  We have different varieties of honey throughout the season…beginning with the early spring tree varieties, all the way through berry and melon varieties…and at the end of the season, a lovely ragweed-wild aster honey.  Our  most popular honey is our rich and caramelly Holly Blossom Honey - pretty much a NorthEast Ohio specialty!!

There’s so much panic and misinformation around Colony Collapse Disorder. Here are the important points: 1) More research is needed to determine what is going on; 2) The best thinking is that it’s a combination of - bee disease, medications for bee disease, pesticides, and new bee related disease; also, it may be a simple matter of Mother Nature doing her "Spring" cleaning, which occurs naturally every 40-50 years.  3) The situation is occurring throughout North America and other areas of our World; 4) All pollinators are affected.
