Honey from the Rocky
Mountains
Fresh Harvest
Raw, Unfiltered, Natural Honey
Twice around the earth
and
two million flowers to create
one pound of honey
Honey is a complex carbohydrate gathered for food by honeybees. Honey
is created in one of the world's most efficient laboratories, the beehive.
Mankind's precious bees may travel as far as 55,000 miles--- more than
twice the distance around the earth 
---
and visit more than two million flowers to gather enough nectar to make
just a pound of honey. Please enjoy and appreciate their precious gift
and reflect on the miracle of their work and the wonder of God's gifts
to mankind.
The color and flavor of honey vary from region to region and year to
year depending on the bees' nectar source (the blossoms), weather, and
other factors. There are about 300 unique kinds of honey in the United
States, originating from such floral sources as alfalfa, clover, wild flowers,
cactus, and orange blossoms.
A variety of plants, particularly the legume families secrete nectar
to attract pollinating insects. The bees gather the nectar, add enzymes,
evaporate it, and turn it into honey back inside their hives. Bees are
very important to crop production in addition to producing honey
Honey is subject to the whims of nature, like all natural products;
thus, honey varies somewhat in color, flavor, and viscosity from month
to month, year to year. Unlike large commercial honey packers, the
honey we offer is not based on an attempt to blend a variety of honeys
to create uniformity for a certain product, or for a certain color, or
consistency --- a procedure that most retail marketers seem to elect. Uniform
color and flavor, year after year, is virtually proof that many unnecessary
and destructive processes are used to achieve such consistency.
