What is raw honey and how is it different from regular honey?

Raw honey is unpasteurized and unfiltered, meaning it keeps all its natural enzymes, pollen, and nutrients. Unlike commercial honey, it’s never heat-treated or overly processed — just as the bees made it.

Is your honey pasteurized or heated during processing?

No. Our honey is never heated or pasteurized. It’s hand-harvested in Mascouche, Quebec, and kept raw to preserve all its natural health benefits.

Does raw honey crystallize? Is it still safe to eat?

Yes! Raw honey naturally crystallizes over time — a sign of purity. You can enjoy it crystallized or gently warm the jar to return it to liquid form.

Where does your honey come from?

Every drop is harvested by hand at our family apiary in Mascouche, Quebec, using sustainable and bee-friendly practices.

How do I store raw honey?

Keep your jar sealed at room temperature, away from heat or sunlight. No refrigeration needed — raw honey never spoils.

Can I use raw honey for sore throats or skincare?

Absolutely. Raw honey is a natural remedy for sore throats and can be used in skincare routines thanks to its antibacterial and soothing properties.

Do you ship raw honey across Canada and the U.S.?

Yes, we ship our small-batch honey anywhere in Canada and the United States. Each order is carefully packed and sent directly from our Quebec farm.

Honey and Lemon: A Time-Tested Natural Remedy

June 22, 2025

A Remedy Rooted in Tradition

Across cultures and generations, one simple blend has remained a staple in natural wellness: honey and lemon. Whether your grandmother swore by it for winter colds or your wellness routine includes a warm cup each morning—this powerful combination is more than folklore. It's backed by science and time-tested benefits.

Why Honey and Lemon Work So Well Together

1. Natural Antibacterial & Antiviral Action
Both raw honey and lemon are known for their antimicrobial properties. Lemon provides vitamin C, which supports immunity, while raw honey helps soothe irritation and fight bacteria.

2. A Digestive Aid
Start your day with a glass of warm honey lemon water to stimulate digestion and gently detox the body. The acidity of lemon supports liver function, and honey acts as a prebiotic.

3. Skin & Hydration Boost
Hydration is key to glowing skin and overall health. Honey and lemon help maintain moisture while supporting skin clarity and cell regeneration.

4. Cold and Flu Support
It’s the go-to elixir for sore throats, coughs, and congestion. The soothing texture of honey coats the throat, while lemon breaks up mucus and adds immune support.

How to Use Honey & Lemon

Classic Morning Tonic
Mix the juice of half a lemon and 1 tsp of raw honey in a cup of warm water. Drink on an empty stomach.

Soothing Cough Syrup
Combine equal parts honey and lemon juice. Take by the spoonful for relief from coughing and throat irritation.

Face Mask for Glowing Skin
Blend 1 tsp honey and a few drops of lemon juice. Apply to clean skin, leave on for 10 minutes, and rinse for a gentle exfoliation.

⚠️ Use Raw Honey Only

Always use raw, unpasteurized honey for maximum benefits. Pasteurized honey loses many of its healing properties.

From Hive to Home: Nature’s Wellness Combo

Simple, effective, and delicious—honey and lemon are nature’s reminder that the best remedies come from the earth. Whether you’re sipping it in tea or applying it to your skin, this natural duo deserves a place in your daily routine.
