Organic Fair held at Whole Foods Market

Eco Bee Farm toured around the Midwest region and offered tens of thousands of people the opportunity to learn the basic principles of beekeeping, organic benefits and awareness. The company’s fully-equipped mobile unit allowed the community to get "first hand" experience with lectures, samples and visual aids (displaying a see-through beehive with live bees including Queen Bee) was educational and stimulating for all who were privileged to be involved.

How can someone say it's organic honey when bees can fly wherever they want?
The beehives are specifically placed in isolated areas away from any type of contamination (golf courses, agricultural areas, heavy traffic areas and landfills).

What makes your honey crystallize solid?
Where and what type of plants bees forage on will determine the nutrient level, crystallization, color, fragrance and taste. Y.S. beekeepers have the true knowledge of quality. The results produce a superior, energy packed (intense crystallization) honey with the highest possible levels of live enzymes, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and beneficial agents as a functional whole food. Only truly raw state honey that has never been processed will crystallize with intensity and has full beneficial properties nature intended.
