Bee Forever Apiary Honey Label
Our Wildflower Honey
Bee Forever Apiary operates in the Bald Hill area near Yelm, WA. This area is very rural and unpolluted.
Enjoy our pure and unprocessed raw wildflower honey. No heating is applied during the extraction and bottling process and therefore, all the valuable ingredients like enzymes remain intact. The water content is below 17%, so the honey can be stored for a long period of time in a cool, dry and dark place. Eventually the honey will crystallize into a fine creamy texture that maintains its full quality. If you prefer the honey to be liquid simply heat the jar in a water bath with max. temperature of 110F.
1 quart glass jar contains 3 lbs of honey. Price $15.00

Straw Skep capable of being dismantled: This is how I got started in Beekeeping
This is the way I got started in beekeeping 10 years ago. In a 2 day seminar in Switzerland we built this skep out of Rye straw and prefabricated wooden parts. It is totally capable of being dismantled and every frame can be inspected individually, as requested by law.
The pictures are showing a fully covered basket, a top view and a view from underneath without baskets. The frames are standing individually on the board that divides the skep and can be removed for inspection.
Meanwhile I live in the Great Pacific Northwest and I have changed to standard bee hives.
