Priceless Honey- Featured Product of the Week!
🍯2026 WV Beekeeper of the Year, Mike Price of Priceless Honey, advises that pure raw honey will crystallize over time because it’s not been heated before jarring. "It’s not bad to eat, it just turns into sugar crystals. If you put it in a crockpot till it gets very warm, unplug it, then leave it to cool, the honey will turn right back into a liquid just like the day you bought it," says Mike. His honey doesn't last long on most shelves because it tastes so darn good!
🐝The keeping of bees is serious business and takes great stewardship. This time of the year, his beehives will have about 60-70,000 bees. In its lifetime, a worker bee will only make 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey. Because her life only lasts for 4 to 6 weeks, it takes the combined lifetime effort of roughly 1,150 worker bees to produce a single 16 oz bottle of honey. Mike collects honey a few times a year from his over 30 hives and repurposes the wax into award winning figures and candlesticks, he's even making hand lotions and lip balms.
❓We've been carrying Priceless Honey, would you like to see some of Mike's other beeswax products at our shop?
