Local Hive™ Honey’s Post

September is peak honey harvesting season throughout much of the United States, making it the perfect time for #NationalHoneyMonth. Right now, across the country, beekeepers are hauling heavy hive boxes like these from fields to extraction houses, where the honey supers are rapidly spun to remove the honey through centrifugal force. If you're picturing a bunch of bees getting very dizzy, don't worry: beekeepers gently move the bees themselves to 'brood boxes' where they can stay safe and sound during the extraction. Only the frames covered with honey and honeycomb get extracted. #NationalHoneyMonth

You can take the honey out of New England, but you can't take the New England out of the honey. (Unless you filter it, which we don't🇺🇸)

Ever wonder what beekeepers are doing when they visit their hives? We'll tell you👇 Every hive makes honey at a different pace. Bees have to forage for nectar from whatever's around, so if there's a good supply locally, they can fill their hive, no problem. But if they have to fly farther to find a floral source, it takes much longer to make all those trips. When beekeepers check on their hives, it's a total coin toss. Could be full of honey, could be bare bones. Over time, they develop a sixth sense for when to harvest based on weather, blooms, and 🌸vibes🌻

This is your annual reminder that Local Hive Honey comes from local hives like this one – right here in the USA. Today marks the start of #nationalhoneymonth, and we'll be sharing a full slate of honey facts, recipes, and #100waystousehoney.
