The renowned business outlines its honey extraction and bottling process, detailing how it prepares raw local honey from its apiaries for seasonal availability.
-- Meyer Bees announces refinements to its honey extraction and bottling process, reflecting information available through its ongoing work with raw local honey in the Minooka area and the surrounding communities listed on its website.
Spokesperson for Meyer Bees stated, “The extraction steps described reflect the procedures followed in preparing raw honey from capped frames during each season.”
The company focuses on beekeeping, honey extraction, and producing raw honey sourced from its apiaries, and on carrying out extraction methods in accordance with the steps outlined on its platform. Their process begins with monitoring hive activity throughout the honey season and placing honey supers as needed, allowing colonies to collect nectar and complete the capping process before frames are removed for extraction.
When honey supers reach the point where bees have capped the cells, Meyer Bees transfers them to its extraction area. In this setting, wax cappings are removed from the frames, and the honey is extracted using a spinning method that draws the honey from the comb. The honey then moves through a mesh screen intended to remove larger wax particles while allowing naturally occurring components to pass through.
Their approach does not include pasteurizing or blending the honey, and no additives are introduced during extraction or bottling. Seasonal differences in available floral sources influence the color and flavor of honey collected at different times, leading to seasonal variation.
Meyer Bees also maintains apiaries in several nearby locations, as stated on the website, contributing to the availability of raw honey from different sites. In addition to honey produced in its own apiaries, the company offers varietal honey sourced from beekeepers in other regions of North America, reflecting the floral conditions that influence each crop.
The spokesperson also added, “Our focus is on carrying out the methods shown on our website so the honey collected from each apiary is handled according to the same outlined process.”
The company continues to provide honey extraction and bottling services through the same procedures it follows throughout each season, maintaining a consistent approach to handling capped frames, removing wax cappings, extracting honey, and preparing it for bottling as each harvest cycle progresses.
