Frequently Asked Questions
Information about the operations and products of Howland's Honey!
Honey Storage
It stays freshest stored in a cool, dry place. However, it can be stored at any temperature but it will change the consistency. Colder temperatures create a more firm product whereas warm places will create a softer product. Liquid honey will remain so up to 6 months.
Honey Best Before...
Honey has an unlimited shelf life due to the sugar content and low PH. However, over time Honey will undergo some natural changes, such as darkening, losing aroma and flavor, and it will crystallize. Even with these changes it is safe to consume.
Bees vs. Winter
The Honey Bee isn't originally from Canada so it needs some help over winter. Our honey producing hives spend the winter outdoors, wrapped in an insulated covering to keep moisture out and heat in. A healthy fall colony will survive the winter this way quite well.
