Maple Syrup
We only sell medium or dark amber syrup. If you want another grade like Fancy or B we can get it for you. The procedure for making maple syrup is hard work. The Sugar Maple is tapped in late February or early March. When the weather starts to warm the sap starts to flow. Whether piped or hauled the sap ends up in a sugar house and is boiled very rapidly to a syrup stage where it is drawn off and bottled. The later the season the sap is harvested, the darker it gets. We find the most flavorable is Amber and B grade. It can take up to 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup. Occasionally, there are sugar on snow parties at these sugar houses where you can eat caramelized maple syrup on snow, donuts and real dill pickles to cut the sweetness. Something your kids will never forget.

Honey & Comb
Late Summer Honey Comb (Darker) - Early Summer Honey comb (Lighter)
$5.00 - per container Approx. 12 oz. (usually more)
Honey Comb is eaten as is. The wax becomes soft and like gum when chewed. It can be swallowed when the honey is all gone. Some people consume honey comb remembering the old days when this was sold over the counter at grocery stores. Most people today eat honey comb to build their auto immune system. Honey and wax are processed by bees as food and as a building material to hold that food in the hive. Since it is directly related to pollen, eating both the wax and honey daily, year round, allows most hay fever victims relief. If you find that you sneeze a lot, or are allergic to, early summer pollen then the comb from early summer is best for you. If you suffer from Goldenrod or later summer pollen then the darker comb would be better for you. This helps best if you are local in that it is the local flora that you are effected by, however, we have people from all over the world buying this comb. With some, this works very well, a teaspoon a day (about the size of a butter patty) keeps the doctor away. We love honeycomb spread on homemade toast in the morning.
Honey
This Honey is packaged raw. That means that we only strain the honey and do not heat it. Most honey packers heat their honey so that they can package it easier. As the bee ingests the nectar from the blossom, enzymes are introduced to the liquid. This bee, a forager and an older bee, then returns to the hive with a load of nectar and pollen and passes this nectar on to a nurse bee which is a younger bee. These nurse bees take the nectar and decide where to put it and then store it in a wax cell. They dehydrate it to the proper moisture content and then cap it for storage. This honey, if left alone will last forever. It will not promote bacterial growth and is often used on wounds that have difficulty in healing, as a dressing. Often this honey will crystallize in that it has not been heated. When crystallized it is better to spread on toast. To re-liquify just warm gently not over 140 degrees.
It takes 1 bee 6000 flights to make 1 teaspoon of honey.

Bees Wax
Much in demand because of it's beautiful aroma when burning as a candle. Bees wax is a natural product derived from honey. The bee consumes nectar or honey and will produce wax flakes from a gland on it's back. Another bee will harvest this wax flake and chew it to make it soft and pliable and then form it into a sextagonal cell for storage of honey or for brood production. Bees wax melts at a higher temperature than petroleum based waxes therefore giving the candle a longer burn life. This wax is also used in lip balms, salves, waterproofing applications and as lubricants.
