Raw Honeycomb — When the Season Allows
Real raw honeycomb is one of the rarest things in honey. Most jars on store shelves are extracted honey — the comb gets crushed and the wax discarded. We harvest comb honey directly from the frame, intact, and bring it to the stand cut into pieces. You eat the wax and all — that's how honey was meant to be eaten before extractors existed.
Availability is genuinely seasonal — we only get a small amount per year, depending on which colonies build excess comb above their needs. Call or text (717) 583-8332 — we'll either have honeycomb at the stand at 557 Douglas Road or know when the next harvest lands.
About Our Honey
Not all honey is the same! The flavor and color of honey changes based on the flowers that the bees are visiting. Early season honey, produced from spring flowers, is light in color, sweet and sometimes has a hint of floral flavor. Late season honey is produced from fall flowers, mainly asters and goldenrod, which produces a darker and more robust flavor.
Our honey IS:
- ✓ Strained for large contaminants, such as chunks of wax
- ✓ Warmed to the natural internal temperature of the hive (~97-100°F) for bottling
- ✓ Sustainable — we only gather excess honey and leave plenty for the bees
Our honey is NOT:
- ✗ Pasteurized — it is never heated above 100°F
- ✗ Filtered — it contains all the naturally occurring pollens
- ✗ Suitable for infants — no infants under 1 year of age should consume honey from any source
