What’s so special about the honey from Golden Angels Apiary?

Golden Angels Apiary specializes in raw honey and is one of the most well-regarded apiaries in Virginia. Not only do they produce the best raw, unfiltered honey, they are mindful stewards of the bees and the environment, which makes them very special, indeed.

Golden Angels Apiary’s environmentally conscious and ethical work processes:

• Golden Angels Apiary doesn’t use chemicals to remove the bees from the honeycombs at the time of the harvest. Instead, the bees are carefully handled using the natural methods that do not harm the bees nor the purity of the honey.
• Wax moth damage is controlled utilizing a large freezer unit, rather than chemical means.
• Parasitic mite control is handled by vinegar vaporization, smaller foundation cell sizing, and essential oil treatments.
