Product Information

Honey

  • Our Honey is 100% Pure Canadian Honey, made by our own bees near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
  • Since we are a CFIA registered and inspected apiary, we grade and package our own honey, ensuring that only the best honey reaches you our customer.
  • Our honey is what some people call "Raw honey".  Our honey is not heat treated, pressure filtered or pasteurized.  
  • Most honey that stays liquid and does not crystallize has been treated in some fashion in order to keep it in that form.  Honey starts out as a liquid in the hive, but it's natural process is to crystallize into the spreadable form that we sell.
  • Honey that is kept dry will keep indefinitely and does not need to be refrigerated.  The only way honey will ferment is if it is allowed to absorb moisture either from water getting into the container or by absorbing moisture from the air.  The most common way for honey to absorb moisture from the air is if the container is left open for a prolonged period of time.  

Beeswax

  • All of the beeswax we sell is taken from our own hives.  It is melted, and poured into a variety of convenient weights for our customers.

  • Our beeswax can be used for many purposes, including candle making, various arts and crafts, batik fabric dyeing, dreadlock hair care, and lubricating zippers.

  • Beeswax melts at 63°C.

Candles

  • Never leave a lit candle unattended.

  • We make candles from our own beeswax and guarantee that they are 100% Beeswax.

  • Burning 100% Beeswax candles is reputed to clean the air by emitting negative ions which attach to positive ions floating in the air.  These then fall to ground, leaving the air cleaner.

  • 100% Beeswax candles burn longer and cleaner than candles made with any percentage of paraffin wax.
