About Cedar Hive Honey Company



From Our Farm To Your Table!



Cedar Hive Honey Company story starts in 2014 in Central Florida. We realized that our bee’s living nearby produced some of the best raw honey in Central Florida. Our friends and family loved it so much that we created our first hive out of Cedar Wood. After perfecting our skills we decided to open up for business and Cedar Hive Honey Company was born.


Cedar Hive Honey produces pure raw specialty honey from hives soaking up the Florida sunshine on our farm before going to your kitchen table. Our bees work hard and fast to produce a fantastic, raw honey that we love to share with the world! This isn't just any Florida honey! This honey is raw, local, and bursting with flavor. All of our honey is unprocessed and unfiltered going from the hive to the jar with minimal handling.



We have many unique types of honey to choose from in addition to Creamed Honey. Raw honey is unique in that it contains all of the pollen collected by the bees, which makes each jar of honey a true reflection of the flowers that were blooming in our area at the time of collection. Our local honey is not only loaded with antioxidants and vitamins, but it's also full of raw, natural goodness that's perfect for your health. Come get yourself a jar today!



One way honey is produced is that the bees collect nectar from over 2 million flowers and they store it inside the hive's which is a densely packed group of hexagon shaped cells made of honeycomb and propolis. All in efforts to make just one pound of honey.



Once the bees return to hive they pack cells of the hive with pollen and nectar that fan with their wings to reduce moisture and cap the cell. For most Apiaries, we move our hive frames closer to blooming flowers to make it easier for our bees to produce our honey.



When the honey frames are fully capped they weigh several pounds. Each box or "Super" contains several frames. With our Queens living in the bottom Super, it's important that they remain undisturbed during harvesting of honey.



The flavor of the honey depends on the type of flower the bees collected it from. The flower is directly responsible for the unique flavor of your honey! It affects the type of pollen and nectar in the honey that the bees collect.



Our Honey frames are uncapped and then inserted into an extraction machine. Here the frames are spun around to release the honey from the frames into a tank.



The honey is then strained to remove any hive particles and then bottled while cold to preserves all of the honey enzymes. Our honey is raw and pure with no additives. Try our honey today, you will be glad you did!
