Highland Honey Bees honey is a unique raw product

Honey, like wine, coffee, chocolate, and cheese, is part of America’s epicurean food awakening. Once you have eaten an exquisite honey, you will always know the difference between a generic honey and that of a raw product with unique local tastes and floral aromas.

Highland Honey is produced from Boulder County Colorado apiaries. It's raw, unheated, and creamed so it will never further crystallize. All honey is not equal! The vast majority of honey has been destroyed by heat, to expedite jarring.

The taste of this honey conveys an awareness of high quality and the particular tastes of Boulder County. Honey quality is partially dependent on the unique interaction of geology, geography and climate, and how these factors affect plant life. The food source for bees are nectars and pollens from local plant life. These factors combine to create a “taste of place,” a concept often used in wine and fine food culture, and germane to our distinctive honey. These unique qualities of a region, along with the skills of the beekeeper, and the texture of the honey, all combine to produce the unique and artisanal honey of Highland Honey Bees.

We are not producing bee packages this year due to the volatile and continued problems in the commercial bee world. We don't have enough bees to safely produce bee packages. However, we still have Nucs available.
