What makes Queens Hive honey different?

Queens Hive honey is harvested in Southern Indiana, bottled without additives, and gently strained rather than finely filtered. Each harvest can vary naturally in color and flavor.

Is your honey really raw and unfiltered?

Yes. We bottle our honey without high-heat processing and use a coarse strain to remove pieces of wax and hive debris.

My honey crystallized. Is it still good?

Yes. Crystallization is a natural change in honey texture and does not by itself mean the honey has gone bad. To re-liquefy it, place the closed jar in warm water and stir gently after it softens.

How should I store my honey?

Store honey tightly covered at room temperature in a dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is unnecessary and usually speeds crystallization.

Do you ship outside Indiana?

Currently, we ship within Indiana only under Indiana Cottage Food Law. We offer local meetup and local drop-off in Evansville and Bloomington.

How does local meetup work?

Place your order online, choose Bloomington or Evansville during checkout, view the meetup address, and book an available pickup time before placing the order.

Do you offer local drop-off?

Yes. We offer local drop-off in Evansville and Bloomington for $5, usually within 72 hours.

What sizes do you sell?

We offer a 16 oz glass jar, a 6 lb half-gallon jug, a 12 lb one-gallon jug, and a 60 lb five-gallon bucket for bulk buyers.
