The time to harvest the Tupelo Honey is in the month of may. Here you can see the steps in extracting the honey.
The trays filled with honey comb is put into a machine that slices the wax cap, outer layer.
Once the edges are clean and the honey exsposed the trays of honey is place in a spinner that spins the honey out of the comb.
Once the honey is spun out it is pumped into a holding tank that will pour the tupelo honey into large barrels.
Next in line is to bottle the Cadillac of all honey.
Our honey is not filterd mixed or processed and is a raw honey product. As you can see, from the hive to your kitchen table.
Fine Tupelo is more expensive because it costs much more to produce this specialty honey. To have access to the river locations where the honey is produced requires expensive labor and equipment. In order to get unmixed Tupelo honey, the colonies must be stripped of all stores just as the white Tupelo bloom begins. The bees must have clean combs . The new crop must be removed before it can be mixed with additional honey sources. The timing of these operations is critical and years of experience are needed to produce a fine product that will certify as Tupelo honey. Our beekeepers are a third generation beekeepers that are particular in what they do and believe in hard work to produce a unique specialty honey . Our honey is Organic honey. The tupelo trees are in Florida deep swamps and many miles from any farms that use pesticides
