Our hives are located in Turkey. Far from any industrial areas, this flourishing land is chemical and fertilizer free, making it a bee’s paradise. Due to the unique properties of the beeswax, it’s incredibly difficult to responsibly source clean honeycomb in the U.S. (at the scale we need). However, we are working with Terra Genesis International to develop both a domestic and global supply chain that is regenerative and benefits multiple stakeholders -- the bees being first and foremost.
Our Turkish beekeepers typically use Caucasian Bees, which are known to be the strongest bee species!
We use several types of hive structures, including: Langstroth, Waare, Top-bar, and Flow Hive.
Yes, honeycomb is entirely edible and just one simple ingredient! You can eat honeycomb multiple different ways! Some of our favorites are on toast, in yogurt, in our tea, and even raw! Any wax residue left in your warm beverages (or in your mouth) can be consumed or rinsed out with warm water.
In fact, we have a blog post about the benefits of eating raw honeycomb: Benefits of Eating Honeycomb
There are extensive research studies related to honeycombs’ various benefits including the brain’s ability to process thought and make decisions. Here is a partial list of research we find fascinating:
Bees are amazing creatures, and the hives are a mathematical and purpose built. Dark honeycomb is considered a delicacy by some. This FAQ requires a little more space, so we have written an article all about dark honeycomb and it's delicious characteristics. Read our article here.
We source the cleanest comb in the world to ensure the highest integrity and fullest benefits from our honeycomb. Unfortunately, more than 70% of honey is fraudulent -- exposed to pesticides and/or blended with other syrups. By sourcing honeycomb globally and from multi-generational beekeepers, we can maintain our quality with confidence. This effort does not translate to commodity prices.
Yes, each beekeeper is paid fairly and offered various trainings conducted by the Turkish Association of Beekeepers.
The Pass the Honey supply system is a dedicated honeycomb inspection system which allows beekeepers to focus on maintaining healthy hives and ensures quality control. Having a single location creates security through repetition and provides job insurance to beekeepers.
During honey harvest season, samples of honey are taken from each beekeeper and brought to an accredited laboratory and analyzed in order to ensure that the bees were not fed with syrup, there is no syrup added directly into the honey and there are no veterinary medicines, antibiotics and/or pesticides added into the honey or hives.
Our Customer Support Team is buzzing around the hive Monday through Friday 9am - 4pm PST (excluding major US holidays.).
Honeycomb is delicate and we have found that the rough handling of overnight shipments breaks the comb and fails to meet our delivery standards. We want our customers to experience the fullest experience of unaltered honeycomb. It took bees months to create it, so hopefully a few more days is worth the wait.
We are continually evaluating shipping options, so there's a potential expedited shipping may be available in the future. Subscribe to our newsletter to stay up to date.
Our hexagon box packaging is delicate and requires a very robust packaging option in order to arrive at your doorstop in great condition, so we do not offer free shipping on those products.
Our newer 24ct box always ships free. You can find that product here: 24ct. Box
