Honey Wildflower South Shore Bays  Harvested from beehives along the shores of Barnegat Bay, Little Egg Harbor and Great Bay. Where the inland forest reach the beaches. Southern Woodlands  Harvested from beehives throughout southern New Jersey inland forest. Blueberry Gathered into beehives from nectar of Blueberry bushes here in New Jersey Cranberry Taken from farmed and wild bogs in southern New Jersey This is TRUE RAW HONEY. Uriah Creek raw honey is strained through 600-200 micron sieves very slowly as the viscosity of honey lower than 110°F does not allow rapid movement of the honey. As a result of this process YOU WILL see grains of pollen mixed in the honey. (NOTE: MOST honey processors use honey heated to 160°F so that they can FILTER the honey down to 10 microns under high pressure and accomplish pasteurization.) Gourmet honey is a honey gathered from one source of flowers, processed separately from all other honey and bottled so that the honey can be enjoyed as a gourmet monofloral honey. The first question is usually how do you get the bees to not mix the honey? Honey is gathered from the flowers that are flowing with nectar. All flowers do not produce nectar at the same time of day or the same time of year. The bees naturally store only one kind of honey in each honey cell. It becomes the beekeeper’s chore to know when the flower that is producing gourmet nectar is blooming, and then remove that box of honey when the floral source is finished. This is EXTRA WORK for the beekeeper! This is why each gourmet honey has its own taste, like wine, all honey DOES NOT taste the same.	Help The Bees  Contributions are accepted to Uriah Creek Apiaries Not tax deductible Adopt a Hive-  Want to support beekeeping? But don't want to be a beekeeper? This is a chance for you to support beekeeping here in the U.S. in New Jersey. Keep the "garden" in the Garden state. Uriah Creek Apiaries is a small operation born in 2007 of the need to provide pollination to my home orchard and gardens. Pollinators had plummeted in '04-'05 causing ugly inedible apples and reduced vegetable harvests. All have since recovered with the introduction of Honey Bees. We now provide the needed service of pollination to small farmers and gardeners that larger beekeeping operations cannot service on a small scale. Your support will help sustain and defray the costs of good bee health and pest protection for a year of 1 beehive to ensure that that bees are still available to New Jersey Farmers by New Jersey beekeepers.  2012 season has a $50  target and will support 1 hive for a year. Uriah Creek Apiaries owns the hives. What you get. 1:  Follow your hive for a year as it goes through the seasons with a minimum of four updates by email in 12 months. 2:  3 Lbs.
