We specialize in local wildflower honey from the Guilford/Forsyth County area. Our honey is organic (non-certified) raw, honey that has not been refined. Our bees are not treated with any chemicals or antibiotics, as are most commercial beekeepers, so the honey you get is pure. We only sell the current year's crop - all honey is fresh from the bees to the bottle to your table. Our honey is made from a mixture of wildflowers within a three mile radius of our home. Sources include tulip poplar, red maple, dandelion, violet, thistle and black locust. It is an amber, rich honey, full of flavor. The honey flow begins in our area about the 25th of February, when the red maples start to bloom. Various wildflowers come in before our main honeyflow, the tulip poplar flow, begins. The summer has a dearth of nectar available for the bees; they forage mostly on clover and a few wildflowers in July and August. The fall flow of goldenrod and aster begins in late September. We harvest our honey both in the late spring and fall. We sell online and locally. Please visit our website at http://cockhillapiary.info for more information and to order.
