A more natural craft process gives our St. Lawrence Gold honeys the following shared characteristics.
• Single-origin and never blended.
• Minimal filtering to preserve antioxidant benefits of a more natural honey.
• Low heating to ensure that the essential antioxidants, minerals and vitamins are retained.
Honeybees visit flowers in search of nectar at the start of the summer season.
Nectar — a sugary, nutrient-rich liquid — is extracted from the flowers using a bee’s long, tube-shaped tongue and stored in its crop (a special stomach).
When a honeybee returns to the hive, it passes the nectar to other bees who deposit it into a honeycomb.
The bees then set to work ‘fanning’ the honeycomb with their wings to speed up the process of water evaporation, which transforms the nectar into honey.
The honey, now protected from air and water in the honeycomb, can be stored indefinitely, providing bees with the perfect food source for cold winter months.
Surplus honey is removed by beekeepers and shipped to the UK, ending its hive to your table journey.
Why is it sustainable? Honey bees are vital for pollinating fruit, vegetables, and field crops, like canola, lupins, beans, sunflowers, and flax. Well-pollinated crops produce more fruit and honey. Bees can increase fruit production by 2 to 8 times.
St. Lawrence Gold honey is only sold in glass jars. Plus all our packaging is completely recyclable including the lids.
