Lets chat about this.. 🐝

🐝Why does some honey crystallize and some doesn’t?
-First thing… crystallization is completely natural.
-It’s not spoilage. It’s not a problem.
Honey is made up mostly of two sugars:
-Glucose – more likely to crystallize
-Fructose – stays liquid

- The higher the glucose → the faster it sets
- The higher the fructose → the longer it stays runny

🐝The biggest factor? Flowers.
Different nectar sources = different sugar makeup
Some honeys crystallize quickly:
-Dandelion
-Clover
-Canola

Others can stay liquid for a long time:
-Fireweed
-Raspberry / blueberry blossoms
-A lot of our wild coastal forage here in NL
So two beekeepers, same area, completely different honey

🐝 Temperature matters too
Honey crystallizes fastest around 10–15°C
-Warm house → stays liquid longer
-Cool room / shed → crystals form faster

🐝How clean the honey is
-Tiny particles (like pollen, wax, air bubbles) help crystals get started
-Well-strained honey can take longer to crystallize

🐝Moisture plays a role
-Slightly higher moisture (while still safe) can slow crystallization

🐝It’s simply a reflection of:
-What your bees foraged on
-The natural sugar balance
-How it’s stored

Checking In on the bees 🐝

Today we removed the honey supers. Got the smoker going to help with the angry bees. After collecting all the supers, we drive around the fields to encourage any hitch hikers to leave.

Taking off Honey Supers to put on bee escape, then we put them back on top of the Bee escapes. This helps get the extra bees out, so we can take the honey supers with minimal hitch hikers a week later

Checking the hives and the need for more honey supers.
We suffered a huge loss this winter, 9 hives died. The first loss since starting beekeeping. I guess we really should be thankful for that. So many have lost whole apiaries over the last couple years.
We have built ourselves back up to 6 hives and they are doing well. The honey is a bonus and our goal is to have healthy happy bee colonies.
Looks like we will be able to offer honey for sale this September.
