Artisanal Honey

 

Locally Produced in St. LouisCentral West End

 

The diversity and profusion of different plant types available to our urban bees perfectly benefits a gourmet menu, with deeper flavor with more nuances than commercial honey or other sweeteners.  In addition to greater depth in flavor, local honey provides many health benefits, including improved immunity to seasonal allergies. 

 

We raise our bees locally and harvest and finish the honey by hand.   We strain the honey to remove bits of wax and propolis, which provides a pleasing look and texture.  The straining process preserves the beneficial pollens and other micro-nutrients which can be lost with further processing. Additionally, we don’t use any synthetic chemicals to treat our hives.   

 

Our limited production honey is seasonal.  Flavor and color changes with each harvest, depending on which plants have been in bloom and the level of rainfall.  Spring honey is often very light in color with a floral aroma, while autumn honey can be the color of India Pale Ale with a concentrated flavor.

 

Price: $12.00 per pound.  Minimum order 5 pounds.
