Frequently Asked Questions

Most store-bought honey is heavily processed: heated, filtered, and sometimes blended with corn syrup. Queens Hive honey is raw, unfiltered, and comes straight from our hives in Southern Indiana. No heat. No additives. Just honey the way bees make it.

Yes. We never heat our honey above natural hive temperature. We use only a coarse strain to remove wax and debris, so pollen, enzymes, and natural nutrients stay intact. What you get is honey exactly as it left the hive.

Absolutely. Crystallization is a sign of real, unprocessed honey. It's completely natural and does not mean the honey has gone bad. To re-liquefy, place the jar in warm water and stir gently. Never microwave it.

Store at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. Honey has an indefinite shelf life when stored properly. Keep the lid tight and it will last for years.
