Do you ship?
We are happy to ship honey orders to customers within the state of Utah. However, we are unable to ship out of state at this time. Utah has three different laws under which people can legally sell honey, and the one under which we operate restricts us to intra-state sales. If you’ll be traveling through the Salt Lake City area, we’re happy to sell to you in person. If you’re interested in sales outside of Utah, please contact us or subscribe to our email newsletter, and we’ll let you know when this situation changes.
Do you do tastings?
We haven’t done one yet, but that’s a great idea! Thank you! We are happy to give you tips on leading your own, or, please contact us if you’d like to set one up.
What are honey varietals?
That just refers to the different honey batches as we harvest them. So far, each batch has a unique and subtle flavor profile. Time of year, what flowers are available, and the choices each beehive makes all influence the character of the honey.
Does honey help with allergies?
While we’re not qualified to answer this question, many customers choose to eat honey that was produced locally during the seasons when they have allergies or hay fever.
Do you sell pollen?
Let’s talk. We do not have any in stock; we hope to collect some extra pollen this coming year.
Do you sell wax?
No, our extra wax so far has gone into a few candles and salves, but mostly back to the bees. We’re happy to put you in touch with local beekeepers who have extra to sell.
Do you sell propolis?
Not at this time, but we’re looking into it for the future.
So far, almost all our extra propolis has been returned to our bees. We have experimented some with making propolis tinctures, none of which are yet for sale.
Can I give your honey to my own hives or native bees?
Please don’t! There are bee pathogens that can spread from colony to colony by bees eating another hive’s honey. Fortunately, these don’t affect humans at all. Please help protect our pollinators by not open-feeding bees. If you’d like to attract insect pollinators to your garden, you can build a bee bath where thirsty bugs can come and drink, and you can plant flowering plants and trees to support their populations.
One important safety concern with people is that honey isn’t safe for babies under one year old, but that’s an unrelated issue.
Do you sell honeycomb?
Yes! We have some comb honey and chunk honey (honeycomb stored in honey). Contact us, and we’ll hook you up.
I want to learn more about beekeeping! Where should I start?
Get a good beginner’s book, take a beekeeping class, and go to a meeting of your local beekeeping club, if that’s available. If an in-person class isn’t available where you are, there are a number of online options as well. Research your local laws and ordinances to make sure if/where you can keep bees in your area. Contact a local beekeeper and ask if you can shadow them and help them out in their bee yard. Find a mentor if you can.
Do you do teach beekeeping?
Jes mentors through the Wasatch Beekeepers Association. She’s happy to consult or teach lessons on a case-by-case basis. Let’s talk!
Do you have merch?
We do! It can ship worldwide.
Where do you get that awesome music for your bee videos?
What bee videos? We haven’t posted those yet!
