Honey Process
Honey Formation, Hive Health
- The journey to our exquisite honey begins with the bees’ diligent efforts. It takes a span of 45 days for honey to be meticulously crafted within the hive. We prioritize the well-being of our bee colonies, ensuring their overall health, checking for diseases, and assessing hive conditions regularly.
Hive Smoke Treatment
- To facilitate safe honey extraction without causing harm to our invaluable pollinators, we employ a thoughtful method. Our beekeepers employ coconut shell charcoal smoke, which gently disarms the bees’ alarm pheromones. This approach ensures a calm environment, allowing us to proceed with the extraction process.
Gentle Bee Removal
- With the hive effectively calmed, we use bee brushes to gently and carefully remove any remaining bees from the honeycomb frames. This step is executed with utmost care and respect for the bees’ contribution to the honey-making process.
Uncapping & Honey Extraction
- To unveil the precious honey within, each honeycomb frame undergoes an uncapping process. Using a sharp knife, we delicately uncap the beeswax, revealing the golden honey beneath.
- The uncapped honeycomb frames are then placed in our honey extractor. Through a churning process, the honey is separated from the comb and flows through a valve into a collection container below.
Straining & Natural Settling
- The freshly extracted honey is a masterpiece, yet it may contain tiny patches of wax, pollen, and other natural particles. To ensure a pure and smooth final product, we meticulously strain the honey, preserving its clarity and texture.
- Following the straining process, the honey is transferred into drums. We believe in allowing nature to take its course, so the drums are kept in the shade for 2-3 days. This natural setting allows any remaining particles to gradually settle, further refining the honey’s quality.
