My honey looks crystalized, has it gone bad?

Honey is a blend of glucose and fructose. Crystallization is a natural process that affects all raw honey. It is the sign of high quality honey that has not been tampered with. Because of the high sugar to water ratio, the sugar will naturally want to return to its solid state over time. There are several factors that make honey more likely to crystallize: temperature, pollen, and the ratio of glucose and fructose. Natural honey will always have pollen in it, which makes it delicious. However, crystallization happens faster because pollen acts like a building block in the crystallization process. Some store bought honeys never crystallize. That's because they have been overheated, and aggressively filtered, taking out all the pollen. This makes it hard to tell where the honey comes from. Always buy local and you're sure to get a high quality honey. Crystallized honey is great when spread on bagels, or used as a glaze for chicken, or in a hot cup of tea. Want to change your honey crystals back to liquid honey? Follow these easy steps: Take the whole jar and set it upright in a shallow pot of hot water (not boiling!). In a few minutes you will see the honey start to liquify again. It's important to note, the honey will recrystallize over time if not consumed.

What does "never heat treated" actually mean?

Most commercial honey is pasteurized at high temperatures. We never heat our honey above hive temperature, so the pollen, propolis and natural enzymes stay intact — along with the flavor.

Is raw honey safe for everyone?

Yes! While there is bourbon in it, you could drink the whole bottle and not get drunk. It has about the same level of alcohol that kombucha does. Raw honey is safe for adults and children over 12 months. Like all honey, it should never be given to infants under one year old.

Where does your honey come from?

We have several types of honey. Our “hyper local” honeys are produced right here in St. Augustine and those hives are maintained by Danielle. We also partner with other beekeepers to produce some of our monofloral honeys. At Honey Truck, we believe in being honest and transparent about where your honey comes from. If we didn’t tend the beehives that produced the honey, we know the beekeeper who did, where their hives are, and what kind of beekeeping practices they keep. We are passionate about supporting our local agricultural community. We will never blend our honeys. When we say our honey is from St. Augustine, ALL of that honey was made in St. Augustine.

Will it ship safely in the Florida heat?

Absolutely. Honey is shelf-stable and ships beautifully. Each jar is wrapped and packed in St. Augustine.

I’ve always loved drinking tea with honey, and one day I started wondering how amazing it would be to have a hive of my own to harvest from. I checked out every book I could find on beekeeping, learned everything I could, and eventually jumped in with both feet. What started with one hive grew into Honey Truck, and I later became a Master Beekeeper through the University of Florida’s Master Craftsman Beekeeper Program.

Today, I maintain hives throughout St. Augustine and work with other small-scale beekeepers across Florida. I’ve always believed in being transparent about where our honey comes from—if I’m not the beekeeper, I know who is, where their hives are, and how they care for them. Through Honey Truck, I also want to help people learn more about honey bees, native pollinators, and the importance of protecting their habitats.
