Spring Grove Honey 

How many times you read in the news about mislabeled contaminated honey from China? "Spring Grove Honey" is not from China it is from Spring Grove! Many corporate beekeepers treat honeybees inhumanly by using harsh chemicals and feeding bees with corn syrup. We use natural methods of beekeeping.

Our small hobby farm is located in a beautiful area of natural springs, woodlands and meadows 3 miles west of Spring Grove. From early spring to late fall honeybees can find  pollen and nectar in blossoming trees and blooming flowers .  The pollen provides protein to the honeybee diet, while the nectar is used for honey. Some of the pollen finds its way into the unprocessed honey and is thought to provide protection from local allergies. In the spring honeybees visit willow and traditional fruit trees such as apple, plum and cherry. Later, they collect the nectar of the flowers of blackcaps, blackberries and linden trees in the woods as well as clover, mint, sage, goldenrod, aster and other wild prairie flowers. The flavors of these flowers come through in the natural, unprocessed, exquisite taste of wildflower honey.
