Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at monicasiwiak@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Our honey is raw and unfiltered, which means it retains all of its natural enzymes and nutrients. It also has a unique flavor profile depending on the types of flowers our bees pollinate.


Raw honey is not heated or filtered, which means it retains all of its natural enzymes and nutrients. Processed honey is heated and filtered, which can remove some of the beneficial properties.


We keep honeybees (Apis mellifera) which are the most common type of bee used for honey production.
