Our Local Honey

We carefully harvest honey twice a year, a process that depends on favorable weather conditions and whether our bees have capped the honey. This typically occurs from June to September when the nectar flow is at its peak, allowing the bees to produce a rich and flavorful honey crop. Our commitment to monitoring both the climate and the bees’ behavior ensures that we gather honey at its optimal time, maintaining the highest quality and taste. The anticipation of each harvest season fills us with excitement, knowing that our efforts will culminate in a delicious product that reflects the unique environment and flowers visited by our bees. This careful approach not only supports the health of our bee colonies but also guarantees that our honey is a true testament to their hard work and the natural world around us.

A Little About Us

Behind the scenes at Honey Lotus, the dynamic duo of Kristen Alfs and Kyla Ravenscraft brings their shared passion to life. Friends since the mid-80s, their bond has evolved into a fruitful partnership, where creativity and friendship converge. In 2022, their journey took a sweet turn when they became beekeepers, discovering the magic of beeswax firsthand. Inspired by the craftsmanship and natural beauty of beeswax, they decided to create their own line of candles and wax melts, imbuing each product with love and care. We plan to extend our line of beeswax products in 2025.
