From start to finish, in all phases of our operation, we use the most environmentally safe procedures as possible and methods that do not harm the bees nor the purity of the honey. To fulfill that primary objective, we are continually conferring with others in the industry having these same motivations, pioneering alternative and unconventional methods of management. We do not filter our honey; bees are air-blown from the honeycombs at the time of harvest, rather than chemically removed; wax moth damage is controlled utilizing a large freezer unit, rather than moth crystals, sulfur or other chemical means. Parasitic mite control, which has become a major issue in bee management in the past few years, is handled by vinegar vaporization, smaller foundation cell sizing, essential oil treatments.
