Our Apiary
Kept by hand on the headwaters of the Aucilla
Wayne Bellamy has spent his whole life in Florida, and his bees live at the top of the Aucilla River, where the water first rises out of the ground and the swamp and pine flatwoods still bloom the way they always have.
That ground is what you taste. Our bees work gallberry, palmetto, tupelo and wildflower depending on the season, so no two harvests are quite the same — the color runs lighter in spring and darker toward fall. We don't blend that away.
Every jar is raw and unfiltered. It's strained just enough to take out the wax, then bottled cold. It has never been pasteurized or cut with anything, and it never will be.

Why Raw
What the grocery store leaves out
Nothing taken out
Pollen, propolis and natural enzymes stay in. Commercial honey is usually heated and micro-filtered until they are gone.
You know the field
One apiary, one river. You can point to the spot on a map where your jar came from.
It will crystallize
That is a good sign, not a flaw. Set the jar in warm water and it goes right back to liquid.
Good for the bees
We leave the hives enough honey to winter on. We only sell the surplus they don't need.
Ordering
Shipping & questions
How much is shipping?
Shipping is a flat rate based on the weight of your order — $9.95 up to 2 lb, $14.95 up to 5 lb, and $19.95 up to 10 lb. Orders over $100 ship free. Honey is heavy, so ordering a quart usually beats ordering two pints on shipping cost.
Can I pick up instead?
Yes, and there is no charge for it. Choose Local pickup at checkout and we'll email you to arrange a time. Pickup is at the apiary in North Florida.
How long does an order take?
Orders go out within two to three business days. We ship U.S. Postal Service, so most of the Southeast arrives in another two or three days.
My honey turned solid and grainy. Is it bad?
Not at all — that is crystallization, and only real raw honey does it. Stand the jar in a bowl of warm (not boiling) water for fifteen or twenty minutes and stir. Avoid the microwave; it scorches the flavor and kills the enzymes you paid for.
Is it safe for infants?
No. Like all honey, raw or not, it should never be given to children under one year old because of the risk of infant botulism. Everyone older is fine.
What payment methods do you take?
All major credit and debit cards, processed securely by Square. Your card details go straight to Square and are never stored on our website.
