Bee keeping is my hobby and passion. As a beekeeper I sell the honey to help pay for this experience hobby of mine. Local honey in Gonzales Louisiana.

No chemicals, ever! “We do not use any chemicals or any other ‘treatments’ on our bees, hives, or honeycomb. As a result, our honey is 100% pure and uncontaminated. By comparison, most commercial beekeepers routinely use chemicals and antibiotics in their hives to prevent bee diseases. Bees come first “We leave plentiful honey and pollen reserves for the bees in the hive at all times. Good nutrition means healthy and productive bees. We only harvest the real surplus that the bees won’t be able to consume themselves and which, in nature, would be lost to bears, moths, and other honey lovers. So our honey is produced without ‘robbing’ the bees – this is the true surplus that can be extracted without any danger of compromising the bees’ own food stockpiles.”

Raw, never heated It’s all in the placement of the comma. My honey is “raw, never heated,” although “raw never, heated” may be more common today. Heating honey can be convenient during extraction and processing; it also slows crystallization. I’ve seen “raw local honey” on tap at a health food store; it was inside a dispenser with a heating element in it!I use a tangential extractor, and I’m finding it spins honey out very well at room temperature. As for crystallization, I love it – because it’s another indication that my honey has not been heat-processed. Unfiltered I only use a large-cell stainless steel colander to strain the honey. If it was not for the small hive beetles (one thing I don’t want in my honey!) – I might even skip the straining step. The colander I use lets small bits of wax and pollen through, which will float to the top of the jar after bottling. My customers like that – it’s like “cream-on-the-top yogurt.”Heating and forced filtering is largely about preventing crystallization, but I actually encourage that.

From the wilds of Ascension Parish, we bring you Mellifera. Our blonde ale, brewed with honey from just a few miles from the brewery. We partnered with Beetanner to marry his homegrown Tallow honey with a fairly standard blonde ale recipe to crush during these warm spring days in south Louisiana. This brew will pair perfectly with a crawfish boil or sitting out in the sun (when its not raining every day) with its light and crisp light body, beautiful golden color finishing with a hint of floral sweetness and a perfect 6.0% abv. Cheers to the changing of the seasons!! On tap now.

Totally sold out of honey. Should have more early July. Thank you to everyone for another sold out year.

Hello followers! I wanted to reach out to let everyone know that I am getting down to the last of the available Honey. Once sold out, I will not have honey until early July. Now is the time to stock up for the spring allergy season.
As much as I try to produce enough honey every year, the demand is exceeding what I can produce. I had a record honey harvest last year and am still selling out fast. I have been busy all winter building more bee hives for next year.

Did you know that:
- one spoonful of honey is enough to keep a person alive for 24 hours
- one of the first coins in the world featured a bee symbol
- honey contains live enzymes. The metal spoon kills these enzymes. The best way to consume honey is with a wooden spoon, if not, you can use a plastic one.
- honey contains a substance that helps the brain function.
- honey is one of the few foods on earth that alone can sustain human life.— at White Gate St Helena.
- bees saved people from starvation in Africa.
- propolis produced by bees is one of nature's most powerful antibiotics.
- honey has no expiration date.
- the bodies of the world's greatest emperors were buried in golden coffins and then covered with honey to prevent them from rotting.
- the term "honeymoon" comes from the fact that the young couple consumed honey for fertility purposes after marriage.
- a bee lives less than 40 days, visits at least 1,000 flowers and produces less than a teaspoon of honey, but for her it is the work of a lifetime.
Thank you, dear bees!

Due to the overwhelming number of requests for honey, i decided to pull some beautiful frames of honey for early access. Signs will not be put out at the road at this time. This is for followers and subscribers only. Limited supply available early. Full honey harvest still a few weeks away. Should have jars available by 6pm today.

Got to live the little boys dream today! Had to move a bulldozer because it was covered in bees and the workers didn’t want to go get it.

🍯From the wilds of Ascension Parish, we bring you Mellifera. Our blonde ale, brewed with honey from just a few miles from the brewery. We partnered with Beetanner to marry his homegrown Tallow honey with our brew, based with pils & honey malt to crush during these warm "winter" days in south Louisiana. This brew will pair perfectly with a crawfish boil, since it 'tis the season but who could afford it, with its light and crisp body, rich amber color, finishing with a hint of floral sweetness. Cheers to the changing of the seasons!!
