Made from the honey of bees that are located by acres of fireweed fields, this raw, unpasteurized honey brings a unique, light, and natural taste to any cup of tea. In the cold weather, raw, unfiltered honey will get hard. The temperature in a hive when the bees are in it and moving around in the summer is 125F. When it gets colder than that, it starts to solidify even if it’s not frozen. When we pour the honey in to the bottles, it’s in a special water jacket to keep the honey warm at 125F, careful not to over heat the honey. If you keep the honey in a warm place it will get more liquidy. Raw honey is not pasteurized so that’s why it doesn't stay in liquid form in all temps. But pasteurization will kill all the healthy enzymes that make honey beneficial.
