“Where’re you from, honey?”
Prosper & Pilot Point
Our hives are located in Prosper and Pilot Point (about 20 miles Northeast of Denton). We rob honey on a weekly basis, so our product is always fresh, seasonal, and sustainably harvested.
Simple Extraction for Raw Product
Uncap
Bees seal off the finished product with wax, which we carefully remove from each frame.
2. Centrifuge
We then place the frames in a centrifuge to spin off the honey. This method allows us to extract without applying heat, preserving the enzymes in raw honey that promote health and healing.
3. Get honey
We run the honey through a large-holed sieve to remove bee parts without straining out the pollen that helps your body recognize its environment and prevent overactive allergic reactions.
Meet the beekeepers
