THE BEE GIRLS pure, raw, unfiltered, unpasteurized, crystallized wildflower comb honey bits Item ID: 2671906357

So incredibly delicious! If you love comb honey, but not the $15-$30 price tag for a standard 4"x4” honey comb box, you’ve found a rare treat here! Not as pretty as a perfect square of cut comb, this box of pure honeycomb includes bits and pieces of honey and comb, and tastes exactly the same as the more expensive perfect cuts. These are the scraps remaining after I’ve separately cut and boxed the perfect-looking (much more expensive) honey comb squares. So some of the honey has run right out of some of the comb into the bottom of the box, but it’s all in there! This is from my hard working bee girls, who collect nectar from my home garden, orchard, and surrounding areas to create a broad spectrum all-natural honey.

Comb honey is unspun honey – a gourmet treat. It contains the beeswax cells that were painstakingly formed by the bees to store and seal the honey within their hive. The varied colors of the honey, from lighter to darker within different cells (along with correspondingly distinct flavors), indicate the different types of seasonal flowers from which the bees extracted this honey. Foodies love to eat the honey together with its comb, spreading it on toast, or presenting it in a small dish on a cheese platter or charcuterie board. It goes particularly well spread on hard cheeses. Purists enjoy eating a spoonful of honeycomb by itself like chewing gum, savoring it like ambrosia

– food of the Greek gods – until all the honey is gone from the wax.

Raw, unheated, unfiltered honeycomb is especially nutritious, and is believed to bestow numerous health benefits. It is rich in phytonutrients, polyphenols, antioxidants, and flavonoids, and can improve heart health by helping lower cholesterol. Honey is believed to offer immune-boosting and anticancer benefits as well. So, this “homegrown” wildflower honey is a truly a miracle!

Fun facts… 2 million flowers are visited by our bee girls to produce a single pound of honey. Isn’t that incredible?! The Girls fly a total of 55,000 miles combined (all in short spurts) back and forth and back and forth to nearby flowers to make that same pound of honey.

Each Girl can herself only produce 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey in her entire hard-working lifetime! Imagine that: One-twelfth of a teaspoon! Meanwhile, each little bee girl beats her wings 240 times per second in search of nectar. Incredibly, this ultra-highspeed flapping creates a mini-hurricane, creating a lower atmospheric pressure system beneath her – lower than that of the surrounding air. This low-pressure system helps lift her upward and makes it possible for her to fly.

And yes, all honey-gathering bees are girls!
