Raw honey from Bee Branch, Arkansas
Fill the comb.
Four harvests. Four shades of honey.
The flowers decide the flavor.
Spring cloverPale gold. Soft and floral.
A year in the hive
Taste the year.
No two harvests taste quite alike. We keep them separate so you can find the one you love.
When a season sells out, we wait for the next bloom.
See all farm goodsRaw, plainly.
Good honey needs very little done to it.
What do you mean by raw?
We extract the honey and strain out bits of wax. We do not pasteurize it or heat it to keep it liquid. Tiny pollen particles remain.
Why has my honey turned cloudy?
Crystals are natural. Some flowers make honey that sets sooner than others. A cloudy or firm jar is still good honey.
How do I make it pour again?
Stand the closed jar in warm water, not boiling water. Stir gently and take your time. Avoid the microwave.
Is local honey an allergy remedy?
We sell honey for its flavor, not as an allergy treatment. Do not give honey to children under one year old.
A year with
the bees.
Carl’s notes from the bee yard. Some days we work. Some days we wait.

Winter clusters
“We check the weight, keep the entrances clear and leave the cluster quiet.”
Spring splits
“The first strong colonies get room to grow. We split before they decide to swarm.”
Summer supers
“A heavy frame is a good sight. We leave enough stores for the colony first.”
The fall harvest
“June bottles each lot on its own. The last jars are darker, and the days are shorter.”
