Why does honey crystallize?

Natural honey crystallizes because of its glucose content. This is a sign of purity and quality, not spoilage. Gently warm the honey in a water bath to restore its liquid form.

What's the white coating on my honey?

How much honey does one bee produce?

How is single-variety honey created?

Single-variety honey is made when bees predominantly visit one type of flowering plant. Bees naturally prefer consistency, gathering nectar from a single flower type until the source is exhausted.

What's the difference between blossom honey and forest honey?

Blossom honey is created from flower nectar and tends to crystallize faster, offering varied flavors. Forest honey (honeydew honey) comes from sap collected by insects on trees, is darker, remains liquid longer, and has a richer flavor.

How far do bees travel for honey production?

Bees typically fly up to 3-4 kilometers, but can travel further if needed. On average, a bee colony travels about 240,000 kilometers to produce one kilogram of honey.
