Just a quick update on our honey inventory status. We are down to 10 bottles of honey for sale. The bees will not start making Spring (palmetto) honey until April and it will not be extracted, bottled and ready for sale until mid to late May. If you are wanting a bottle, please let me know and I will get your name on one of the remaining bottles to save it until you can pick up. They will go very fast. As always, Thank You all so much for supporting this Child Sponsor Ministry !!!

Hope everyone had a merry Christmas and Happy New Year ! The bees were busy in the Apiary this Spring/Summer/Fall. Lots of honey was produced. We just finished up bottling the Fall honey in our new containers ! The new squeeze containers are 32oz (by weight) and have a flip top lid. Since they are not quite 32 fluid ounces we will only be charging $20 each. We have about 60 available. After these are gone, we will not have honey until the Spring honey in Early May. Thanks to everyone that purchased our honey in 2025 !! We were able to add 4 more children to our Sponsorship Ministry in 2025. We have a total of 11 sponsored kids now !

So after many months of being out of honey, the bees are producing copious amounts of palmetto honey. The honey this spring has a great flavor profile. I think it was due to the extended winter we had. We are officially back in stock and have plenty quart jars of honey available ($25). Pictured is just a small portion of the honey we have harvested so far. As a reminder, our honey sales are used to support our Child Sponsor Ministry. We sponsor 7 children through the Venice Church of the Nazarene NCM and will soon be adding 6 more children !! Please contact us if you would like to have a jar set aside. We are available most days or can meet you in Venice after most Sunday services on East Venice Avenue. A Big thanks to all that have supported our ministry in the past. !! God Bless

For those that were not aware, hurricanes Helene and Milton inflicted a “one-two” punch on the flora in Sarasota County leaving the blooms/nectar needed for the bees to make Fall honey completely diminished. Due to this, no fall honey was produced. In fact, we had to feed the bees artificial nectar and pollen several weeks after Milton just to give them enough resources to get through this winter. We do have just a few jars of summer honey (cabbage palm) available. We hope to have Spring honey available (God willing) in April/May next year. The good news is that we have enough funds available to continue to sponsor our 8 children until the Spring honey is available to sell. Please pray for a normal Winter weather pattern. 🙏🏻

God Bless !!!

How do I fix crystalized honey? Most honey will eventually start to crystalize. When your honey starts to have small crystals of what looks like granulated sugar suspended in it and it starts to get "gritty", this is the crystalization process. This is easy to fix. Place your honey on your vehicle's dashboard on a sunny day for 3 to 4 hours. This will warm your honey to 110º. The bottle should be very warm to the touch. Pull it out and shake for a few seconds. The crystals will melt and your honey will be clear and smooth again for a very long time. Do not let it go too long or it may get too hot. It won't hurt the honey, buy it will kill all the beneficial enzymes in your honey. Ever wonder why supermarket/commercial honey does not crystalize ? It is pasteurized (heated to 150º+). This process kills all the beneficial enzymes but stabilizes it so that it will store for a long time and not crystalize. Raw honey will never be heat treated.
