Why Our Honey Costs More Than Store-Bought Honey
Most supermarket honey is blended, ultra-filtered, and often imported in bulk from overseas. It’s processed for consistency and shelf-life, but at the cost of losing much of the flavor, pollen, and natural enzymes that make honey special.
Our honey is different. Every jar comes directly from our rooftop hives in New York City. The bees forage on a rich mix of wildflowers, trees, and urban gardens—giving each harvest its own seasonal character. We never heat-treat or over-filter, which means the pollen, enzymes, and antioxidants stay intact.
Small-batch harvesting is slower and more hands-on. From adding supers to carefully removing frames without harming the bees, to hand-pouring into glass jars, every step takes time and care. We also invest in eco-friendly packaging, and reusable jars—choices that cost more but align with our values.
When you buy our honey, you’re not just buying something sweet—you’re supporting sustainable urban beekeeping, healthier pollinator populations, and the preservation of local biodiversity. It’s raw, unblended, and exactly the way the bees made it.
That’s why our honey carries a higher price tag: because it carries real value.
