Welcome to our honey page, where I hope you will learn a little about the product that we are so proud of. Our honey bees gather all of the nectar that they turn into honey from the wild northern forests of the Yukon. We are far away from traditional farming, and human contamination, because of this our bees are one of the rare few that get to work in fields of flowers that are both untouched by pesticides, and are non-genetically modified. Our honey is also both Unpasteurized and Raw, which ensures that all of the natural Antibiotics, Pollen, and Royal Jelly are still intact within our honey.
Fireweed Honey:
Fireweed Honey is considered the Champaign of all honey. It is a rare honey known around the world for its medicinal qualities, and its light sweet taste. Our Fireweed Honey is a clear white, and takes a long time to crystalize, indicating that it is one of the purest you can find. It is produced by our bees out of Fireweed Nectar. Fireweed is not only the Yukon’s territorial flower, but it is the first thing to grow in a forest after a forest fire. The brilliant hot pink color of the Fireweed offers a sharp contrast against the desolate black burned forest. The bright color and hum of the bees is truly symbolic of how the forest once again comes back to life after the devastation of fire. We really hope you get the opportunity to try some of this amazing honey.
Wildflower Honey:
Wildflower Honey is a unique and flavorful honey. It is made up of different Wildflowers found around the Yukon, Wild Strawberry, Wild Rose, Blueberry, and Mountain Cranberry are just a few of the flowers that are included in it. It has a much stronger flavor than the fireweed, while still maintaining a sweet taste. If you like drinking warm water, or tea this honey is a fun way to add a little flavor to your water/tea, while boosting your immune system, and providing you with many other health benefits. This honey varies in color from very light to a darker golden color.
We came upon our Wildflower Honey by accident while experimenting with different nectar sources for our bees. At BeeWhyld we are determined to make sure that the health of our bees comes first before all else. We aren’t just beekeepers, but we are people who truly love the Honey Bee, and want to look after this amazing creature the best we can. This is where our Wildflower Honey came in. It is very important for the Honey Bees to have variety in their diet. Each flower produces different nectar, which provides different nutrients to the bees. We couldn’t survive only eating the same food everyday… well it is unhealthy for the bees too. So once the short Fireweed season was over we moved our bees to different locations that were abundant with wildflowers. This way they could make Wildflower Honey, and get as much variety in their diet as possible. Originally we were going to leave it all for the bees, but they produced such an excess that it would have been impossible for them to keep their hives warm all winter with the extra boxes on top. So we had to harvest it. Don’t worry we still kept lots in the comb to feed to them in the spring too. We definitely didn’t expect them to do so well with the wildflowers, but are very grateful that they did.
Cinnamon Fireweed Honey:
Our Cinnamon Fireweed Honey is a flavorful mix of certified Organic Ceylon Cinnamon, and Raw Fireweed honey. This honey is amazing in tea, hot water, on toast, or on a spoon. Cinnamon Honey is one of those rare foods that tastes good, and is good for you! It has long been used to aid in fighting the cold and flu, boosting the immune system, improving digestion, reducing arthritis pain, and many others. This blend is one of our favorites, and now we are happy to share it with you as well!
Due to extremely high demand we sell out each year within the Yukon Territory.
