Honey production is an ancient and fascinating process that begins with bees collecting nectar and transforming it into honey through enzymatic activity and evaporation. Beekeeping, or apiculture, supports not only honey harvesting but also crucial pollination that impacts our global food supply. From the life cycle of bees to modern challenges like pesticides and climate change, this post explores how honey is made—and how you can get started, too.

Sparkle & Honey offers Organic (imported honey) & Pacific NW (local Oregon honey) varieties. Why two? We aim to balance organic with local, but truly organic local honey isn't really a thing in the US! 🤯 The USDA lacks specific organic rules for honey, despite years in the works. Bees roam freely, making 100% organic sourcing here nearly impossible. Imported "organic" honey follows other countries' rules. We prioritize US beekeepers' sustainable practices and local goodness
