Honey from my latest honey harvest is all gone.\u00a0 \u00a0I only harvest honey when the bees tell me it is fully processed and it is always up to the bees and weather as to exactly when that might happen.\u00a0 My honey availability is always kept current on this website, so check back often. Also, please note that I do not get commercial quantities of honey, so I usually soon run out of available honey until the bees allow me to do another harvest.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe honey is harvested directly from hive to bottle and is absolutely delicious. If you want the real and natural honey and not the imported store bought stuff, try my local wildflower honey. Unlike many commercial and backyard beekeeping operations, my quality over quantity approach means this honey is not harvested until the bees have finished their honey processing (AKA “capped” honey) which is very important for obtaining the very best honey the bees can make.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The honey bottle shown to the right is a one-pound bottle of my hives’ pure local raw honey, taken directly from the hive to the bottle. It contains all the pollen, nutrients, antioxidants, and antibacterial properties of local raw honey. It is never heated and is always bottled within minutes of extraction from the hive. It simply doesn’t get any fresher or more natural than this.<\/span><\/p>\n

I use no chemicals in or around my apiary and extract only capped honey from the hives (important, because uncapped honey in a hive has not been fully processed by the bees). I then take multiple refractometer readings to make sure the honey is at or below the maximum moisture content of 18.5% for quality honey. By using precise methods to extract and bottle the NaplesBees honey, I am able to protect the natural and healthy enzymes present only in unheated raw honey.<\/span><\/p>\n

The rich amber color of my honey varies from lighter to darker depending on the source of the nectar, which reflects the flora naturally available to the bees during each season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know?<\/strong> Unlike many commercial and backyard beekeepers, I am careful to harvest only CAPPED honey from my hives. Many beekeepers harvest capped and uncapped honey all in one go because it is easier and quicker. Uncapped honey is not finished processing by the bees, but it lets the beekeeper get more “honey” volume, and most people have no idea what’s going on. Uncapped honey is not fully cured and not sealed with a wax cap by the bees, and therefore it does not have all the sweetness and goodness of fully processed capped honey. The bees know what they are doing, and a good beekeeper will pay attention to that.<\/span><\/p>\n

In my small apiary, I focus on quality, not quantity, because this is backyard beekeeping for passion, not profit! When buying local raw honey, always ask the beekeeper whether the honey comes only from the hive’s capped honey cells and doesn’t include a significant amount of uncapped honey.<\/span><\/p>\n

One note beyond wording: claims like “all the health benefits” and “all the sweetness and goodness” are strong, and some jurisdictions restrict health claims on food labels and marketing. You may want to soften them (for example, “many of the natural benefits”) if this is for a website or product label.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
