    Frequently Asked Questions

    What makes raw honey different from regular store-bought honey?
    Raw honey retains natural enzymes, antioxidants, and pollen through minimal processing. Store-bought honey undergoes heating and filtration that removes beneficial compounds and complex flavors, leaving only basic sweetness without therapeutic properties.
    How should I store my Hive Honey to maintain its quality?
    Store at room temperature in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Keep the lid tightly closed to prevent moisture. Avoid refrigeration as it accelerates crystallization. Proper storage maintains quality indefinitely.
    Why does my honey sometimes crystallize, and is it still safe to eat?
    Crystallization is natural and indicates pure honey. Different varieties crystallize at different rates based on glucose content. Crystallized honey remains safe and can be reliquefied by gentle warming in water.
    Can I use raw honey in cooking and baking?
    Yes, raw honey works excellently in cooking and baking. Reduce oven temperature by 25°F and decrease liquids slightly. For maximum health benefits, add honey after cooking or use it in cold preparations.
    What's the shelf life of raw honey, and does it expire?
    Raw honey never expires due to its antimicrobial properties. For optimal flavor, consume within two years. Properly stored honey maintains quality indefinitely. Darkening over time is normal, not spoilage.
    Which honey variety should I choose for specific uses or health benefits?
    Choose based on flavor preference and use. Wildflower Honey offers versatility and potential allergy support. Tupelo suits delicate desserts. Orange Blossom complements savory dishes. All varieties provide beneficial enzymes.
