Mohawk Valley Trading Company’s raw honey is as it is found in the beehive: extracted from the honeycomb, strained, and packed in glass jars. This process preserves natural enzymes, yeast, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, bee pollen, aromatics, and propolis, all of which are destroyed by heat. Our raw honey is predominantly composed of the nectar of a particular type of blossom or flower. To capture the unique character and flavor of the blossom or flower, we study botanical bloom and flowering patterns when planning hive placement. No pesticides or herbicides are used in the areas where we set up our bee yards. Although it isn’t labeled or certified organic, our raw honey is as organic as any honey produced in the USA.
