The bees make our Lavender Honey. No essential oil is added to the vintage the bees create. We just try to take care of the amazing and hard working bees to the best of our ability and then harvest some of their summer work for ourselves and to share with you with as little disruption as possible to our hard working and diligent bee colonies. We leave 60 pounds of honey per hive to feed each colony over our Northern Michigan winter.
 
We do not use any plastic inside of our hives and greatly minimize use of plastic when we process the bees' honey. Once harvested, we bottle in clear glass bottles to keep it as pure as possible to and to honor the bees' hard summer of work.
 
Each year's honey is kind of like fine wine: no two year's flavor and aroma and consistency is the same. This year's vintage has a bit more lavender floral taste on the back end, but with the same smoothness of the sugars as last year's vintage. Our raw honey is prepared in small batches on site and is only strained never filtered nor heated. So it retains much of the local pollen and nutrients the bees created it with.
