Monthly Hive & Honey Share
Our Hive & Honey Share, is our version of a monthly CSA (community supported agriculture). By joining you are helping our small apiary sustainably care for and maintain 800 bee colonies. Our hives pollinate crops, trees, wildflowers, and provide us with gifts from the hive such as raw honey, beeswax, pollen, and propolis which we then use in our skincare, herbal honeys, and candles.
With your monthly share, you will receive a jar of our Raw Knapweed + Wildflower honey (10 or 1.5 oz, your choice), a rotating jar of one of our herbal infused medicinal honeys, and an exclusive honey inspired elixir created every month just for you. Not only do you receive a discount on all three products, you will also receive free shipping. Shares are delivered the first of every month, skip or cancel at anytime.
Our cut off date is every 27th of the month, any orders after will receive the following month's box.
Knapweed honey is a sought-after, light-colored honey with a complex, sharp, floral sweetness with notes of caramel, anise, and herbs, a buttery texture, and a clean finish.
Raw unfiltered honey from sustainably kept bees

Our honey comes straight from the beehive, strained just enough to remove bits of wax, and that’s it. Pure, unprocessed, and packed with beneficial compounds that support your health naturally. When you choose our Montana raw honey, you're getting honey as nature intended from bees to jar.
How We Compare
See the difference between our raw honey and store-bought alternatives
Our Raw Honey
Pure & Natural- 100% Raw & Unfiltered - Never heated above hive temperature, preserving all natural enzymes, bee pollen, propolis, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals
- Complex, unique wildflower flavors reflecting Montana's diverse mountain flora - Each harvest slightly different
- Local Montana origin - Minimal transportation, supports regional ecosystem and local economy
- Lower glycemic index due to natural enzyme content - Better for blood sugar management
- High antibacterial activity from propolis and natural compounds - Natural healing properties preserved
Store-Bought Honey
Processed- Pasteurized & Ultra-filtered - Heated to high temperatures and heavily filtered, destroying beneficial enzyme. Minimal pollen and antioxidants remain after processing
- Uniform, neutral flavor - Blended to create consistency across batches
- Often blended from multiple countries/regions - May contain honey from unknown or questionable sources often shipped from overseas, higher carbon footprint
- Higher glycemic index - Processing removes enzymes that slow sugar absorption
- Reduced antibacterial properties - Processing diminishes natural antimicrobial compounds
Our beekeping practices prioritize bee health, low intervention, and ecological stewardship over maximum extraction.
- Our bees are kept in remote Montana locations with abundant wild forage and access to clean mountain rivers and springs.
- Colonies are visited regularly and managed individually based on each hive’s needs.
- Adequate honey stores are left for bees to successfully overwinter.
- Hive comb is replaced on a regular cycle to prevent contaminant buildup and support long-term colony health.
Your Questions Answered
-
Buying honey directly from a beekeeper means you know where your honey really comes from. Plus, supporting local beekeepers helps keep bee populations healthy and pollination strong in your area. It’s good for you, your community, and the bees.
It’s also worth knowing that about 70% of the honey sold in the U.S. is imported, and some of it has been found to contain added sweeteners or come from sources that aren’t truly natural nectar.
-
There is currently no USDA organic certification for honey in the United States. Honey bees forage up to three miles from their hive, making it impossible to control or guarantee that all nectar sources meet organic standards. For this reason, “certified organic honey” is not a verifiable claim. Instead, we place our hives in remote, clean environments and follow careful, chemical-free practices that meet or exceed organic standards.
-
Pasteurizing honey involves heating it which can destroy its delicate aromas, yeasts, and the enzymes that aid digestion and activate vitamins and minerals in the digestive tract.
-
Raw honey crystallizes because it’s a natural mix of sugars, mainly glucose and fructose. Over time, the glucose wants to come out of the liquid and form tiny sugar crystals, especially when it’s stored in a cool spot.
It’s kind of like how sugar can settle at the bottom of iced tea if it doesn’t dissolve all the way. The crystals don’t mean anything’s wrong! In fact, it’s actually a sign your honey is pure and hasn’t been overheated or overly processed.
If you like it smooth again, just warm the jar gently in a bowl of warm water and those crystals will melt right back into liquid gold.
-
Honey is one of nature’s most patient foods — it doesn’t spoil, it simply changes form. The bees knew what they were doing when they made it. As long as you keep it sealed and dry, that jar can last for generations. It might thicken or crystallize, but that’s just its way of resting. A little warmth will wake it right back up. Protect it from moisture, and it’ll stay pure and golden as the day it was made.
-
Honey’s color depends on what flowers the bees were visiting. Light honey usually comes from blossoms like clover, while darker honey can come from wildflowers, buckwheat, or forest plants. The darker varieties often taste bolder or more molasses-like, while lighter ones are mild and floral. It’s all about what’s blooming near the hive, nature’s own flavor map.
-
A lot of our customers swear by using raw local honey for seasonal allergies — and we hear it works wonders for many of them. The idea makes sense: local honey carries tiny traces of the same pollen floating around in your area, so a small spoonful each day can help your body get used to it. Many people find the best results come from taking a little every day over an extended period of time.

We love love love our monthly deliveries! We use quite a bit of honey, so it is awesome to never run out while supporting local business, and the honey that is leftover makes a great gift for friends and family. Then the specialty honeys and special tinctures and whatnot are such a treat--shout-out to the saffron honey, which is amazing on buttered toast!
