The Apiary
Honey that tastes of its season
Our bees forage the meadow, the garden and the tree line. We take only the surplus and jar each harvest on its own — so spring honey tastes of spring.
This month at the hives · November
“Quiet. The colonies cluster; we don’t open the hives.”
Beekeeping
Kept gently
We keep bees the slow way: no rushing the colonies, and never taking what they need for winter. The honey is extracted cold, strained once and never heated, so it crystallizes the way real honey should.
Three harvests
Each season, its own jar
Spring
Pale and floral: fruit blossom, dandelion, the first clover.
Summer
Golden and round: the long summer bloom, soft and familiar.
Fall
Dark and bold: goldenrod and aster. It creams quickly and beautifully.
The pantry
From the hives
This year’s harvest is still in the hives.
