"FROM HIVE TO HOME"
STEP 1: When the supers or boxes are full of honey, the beekeeper carefully removes the bees and then transports the hive boxes to the extraction facility.
STEP 2: Frames are removed from the supers and placed into an uncapping machine designed to remove the bees’ wax seal.
STEP 3: A honey extractor spins the frames at a high speed, forcing the honey out by using centrifugal force.
STEP 4: The honey is pumped into a storage tank where it is minimally strained to remove any foreign matter.
STEP 5: 5000 Kg drums are filled with the honey, sealed, assigned a lot code, and moved to a staging area for shipment to the honey packer facility.
STEP 6: Our packing facilities receive the raw honey and samples from each lot are drawn by our Quality personnel. The honey is not released until testing is complete and deemed acceptable.
STEP 7: The honey is then filtered or strained to remove natural and foreign matter.
STEP 8: Once it’s ready, honey is bottled, labeled, coded and boxed for shipment.
