People deserve treats too, so give yourself a treat while ordering for your pups. Straight from my husband's hives out back. Raw unfiltered New York honey. We are surrounded by apple orchards, fields, and farms which gives our wild flower honey it's own sweet mild taste. Those who have tasted it have said they never tasted better. The color and flavor may vary slightly over the course of the season, but it tends to always lean to the lighter side.
Honey Fun Facts
- A single honeybee will only produce approximately 1/12 teaspoon of honey in her lifetime.

- Honey is the only known food which has all the ingredients needed to keep you alive.

- Only female honey bees can sting.

For those concerned about the welfare of the bees, these bees are my husband's joy and he treats them like VIPs only taking the honey he has to take to keep the hive healthy and leaving plenty for them to survive on over the winter. As much as I love honeycomb, he rarely takes it as it requires the bees to have to work harder to replace it. He also does not collect bee pollen and simply enjoys the pollen benefits which are found within the honey itself.

**Raw honey should not be consumed by babies under 12 months of age.
Raw honey will never go bad as it is a natural preservative. It will crystalize due to its high sugar content, but you can decrystalize it placing the bottle in a pot of hot water and allow it to sit until the honey melts. Do not exceed 110 degrees or microwave or it will kill the healthful benefits of raw honey.
