Our ForestBeehive apiary is on the left side of this secluded forest lake in Maine, far removed from agro-industrial pollution. On the right-hand side – 3,000 acres’ Wildlife sanctuary. We are pesticide-free.
Our local bee colonies and beehives are not subjected to any treatments with human-engineered chemicals or any acids or oils. We never feed sugar to honeybees: there’s not enough nutrients in sugar and natural honey has a much higher acidity than sugar.
Pristine woodlands around our apiary provide our bees with rich Spring-to-Fall foraging resources. We only harvest surplus honey in the Fall, leaving enough honey for the bees to survive harsh New England winters.
The Right Natural Habitat: clean unpolluted land and water, forests and meadows providing the bees with rich natural Spring-to-Fall nectar/pollen resources.
Bees need vitamins, protein and micro-nutrients from nectar, honey and pollen. Sugar only has carbs and compared to honey is less acidic, adversely affecting the bees’ microbiome. Besides, if you feed sugar…you ain’t getting real honey.
Never use any treatments with human-engineered chemicals, antibiotics, or any acids or oils. Neither for the bees nor for the beehives.
Maine Wilderness Honey – an ode to nature!
We harvest only surplus honey and only once per year – in the Fall when the honey has matured and the bees’ enzymes had enough time to work their magic.
Our Maine Wilderness Honey is a rich, fragrant and yet delicately balanced golden amber honey with beautiful plum and apricot undertones.
One unexpected post-tasting quote: “I don’t know about 40 virgins in Heaven, but if they don’t have honey like this one, I am not going!”
