Adirondack wildflower honey is a polyfloral (or multi-floral) honey, derived from the nectar of numerous species of flowers and blossoms foraged by honeybees within the “Blue Line” of the Adirondack Park in Upstate New York. The taste, aroma, flavor, and color will vary from season to season, depending on which flowers and blossoms are dominant when the nectar is collected.
According to Scientific American:
“Organic honey isn’t impossible. It’s just beyond of the ability of most beekeepers. Bee yards situated in isolated spots deep in the Adirondacks, or mountain valleys in sparsely-populated New Mexico, can probably pull off honey free of agrochemicals. Most beekeepers operate within a bee’s flight of pesticides, however, making “organic” honey an illusory proposition.”
Mohawk Valley Trading Company’s raw Adirondack wildflower honey is as it exists in the beehive: extracted from the honeycomb, strained, and packed into glass jars. This process retains natural enzymes, yeast, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, bee pollen, aromatics, and propolis, propolis, all of which are destroyed by heating.
Therefore, if any honey is to be used for its health benefits, it must be raw and unfiltered.
No pesticides or herbicides are used in the areas where we set up our bee yards. Although it isn’t labeled or certified organic, Mohawk Valley Trading Company’s raw Adirondack wildflower honey is as organic as any honey produced in the USA.
