Beautifully pure, unpasteurized honey straight from the beeyard.1000 Islands Honey is local honey directly from our beeyard. Our honey is the highest grade of raw, unpasteurized wildflower honey that the honey bees produce from the many varieties of wildflowers we have in the Thousand Islands area.
Although the bees collect pollen from a wide variety of sources, in late Fall when goldenrod is in bloom, the bees fill up the honey supers with a darker and stronger tasting honey (our personal favourite), which both tastes amazing and also is excellent for people who suffer from seasonal allergies.
