Cosmic Honey operates unlike most commercial beekeeping operations. Above profit, the guiding light for this apiary is to:
- Raise healthy, happy honey bees.
- Get good honey into the hands of good people.
Which guides every decision that is made, be it techincal (“how much honey should I give back to the bees to help them through winter?”) or physical (“working with the bees in this way is more exhausting, but is better for the bees, whereas I could work them in a different, easy way for me, but worse for the bees”).
Honey is extracted at different times of the year from different colonies. This means that the honey is made from seasonal flowers and can range in taste, texture, and colour. Each honey is then name for the ruling Queen and a fantasical name for the flavour (ex. “Thalia’s Sunflower Supreme”).
Did you know?!
To make 1 kg of honey, bees will fly 176,000 kms (4 times around the planet)
And visit 5.7 million flowers.
