How long does honey keep for?

Honey stored in sealed containers can remain stable for decades and even centuries! However, honey is susceptible to physical and chemical changes during storage; it tends to darken and lose its aroma and flavour and will often crystallize.

These are temperature-dependent processes, making the shelf life of honey difficult to define. For practical purposes, a shelf life of two years is often stated. So the idea is to eat, enjoy and then get a new jar of honey!

Each season brings its own unique flavours and different tasting honey’s.

Where does Beeswax come from?

The Beeswax comes from the glands of worker bees who convert the sugar contents of honey into wax, this oozes through the bee’s small pores to produce tiny flakes of wax on their abdomens. Other Workers chew these pieces of wax until they become soft and pliable and then use the chewed wax in the honeycomb construction.
