What is “treatment-free” honey? Conventionally-kept bee colonies are prophylactically-treated with a variety of chemicals: • Antibiotics (Terramycin for treating foulbrood disease) • Pesticides (Apistan for Verroa mites) • GardStar (for treating small hive beetles) • Bee Go (to push bees off honey prior to extraction) Our bees are kept as healthy as possible so that we don’t need to treat them with chemicals that may end-up in the environment, and worse, in our honey! Also, our bees are kept on either Certified Organic or Certified Naturally-Grown farms (Abundant Life, Hotchkiss Colorado, and Fire Mountain Farm and Apiary, Paonia Colorado, respectively). How can one say it's organic honey when bees can fly wherever they want? Our bees are specifically housed away from any kind of contamination, and a plethora of blooming vegetation is cultivated for the very purpose of keeping them foraging locally, thereby collecting only organic nectar. If they can find food nearby, their foraging area is significantly minimized. Why “comb” honey? There are no guarantees that conventionally extracted honey is not diluted with sugar-water and other artificial ingredients. Our honey is 100% treatment-free, unfiltered, un-heated (which destroys beneficial enzymes), and contains edible wax comb as well as small amounts of pollen.
