It’s said that honey is the only food that doesn’t spoil. But if you’ve ever tried Y.S. Organic Bee Farms Raw Honey — this tidbit of trivia doesn’t really matter. It’s so rich, delicious and versatile, you’ll be lucky if a jar lasts on your pantry shelf longer than a week!
Unlike typical squeezable supermarket honey, raw honey is creamy and spoonable — just right for swirling into a steaming mug of tea or spreading over a slice of toast. It’s also packed with the goodness of natural enzymes and nutrients you won’t find in honey that’s been heat treated, processed and poured into a plastic bear.

Pioneers in organic bee farming, they maintain their colonies without the use of chemicals. And their honey is unfiltered and unpasteurized in other words, what the bees make is exactly what you get!
