FAQ

What is maple honey?

Maple honey is a unique type of honey produced when bees are fed maple syrup instead of their usual diet of nectar or pollen. The result is a rich, smooth honey with subtle maple undertones, offering a one-of-a-kind flavor experience.

Is maple honey natural?

Yes! While bees typically collect nectar from flowers, in this case, they're given pure Canadian maple syrup—a natural product—as their food source. The bees process it naturally, just as they would with nectar, to create honey.

Does maple honey contain real maple syrup?

Absolutely. The maple flavor comes directly from the maple syrup fed to the bees, which is then transformed into honey through their natural digestive and enzymatic processes. No additional flavoring or syrup is added afterward.

How is maple honey different from regular honey?

Maple honey has a distinct flavor profile that combines the richness of maple syrup with the smooth, sweet characteristics of honey. It’s slightly darker and has a more caramelized taste compared to traditional floral honey.

Is maple honey safe for children?

Yes, like other honey products, maple honey is safe for children over the age of 1. Honey should not be given to infants under 12 months due to the risk of infant botulism.

Is your maple syrup used to feed the bees locally sourced?

Yes! We use high-quality, locally harvested Canadian maple syrup to feed our bees, ensuring both sustainability and authenticity in every jar.

How do you ensure the health of the bees during this process?

Bee health is our top priority. Maple syrup is only given during specific times when natural nectar is scarce. It’s a safe, energy-rich supplement, and our beekeepers monitor the hives closely to maintain strong, healthy colonies.

Can I use maple honey the same way as regular honey?

Definitely! Maple honey is perfect for sweetening tea, spreading on toast, drizzling over yogurt, or using in recipes. Its unique flavor also makes it a great gift or gourmet addition to cheese boards and desserts.

Is this product available year-round?

Quantities may be limited depending on the season and bee activity. Because it's a specialty product, availability can vary. Be sure to check our shop or subscribe for restock updates!

How should I store maple honey?

Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Like all natural honey, it may crystallize over time. If that happens, gently warm the jar in warm water to restore its smooth texture.
