We are partnering with Denise Garzone & Associates to welcome you to Sudbury.
We hope you enjoy the bottle of raw honey created by our bees who are buzzing around here in 01776. Our bees buzz around the Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in miscellaneous flower sources. Available in our selection.
Did you know? There are over 16,000 known bee species in seven recognized families. Our bees here in Sudbury are genetically diverse, a hybrid breed of the Italian (Aurea) and Carnolian (Karnica).
Some other bee facts for you:
First of all, if you notice a bee flying around you or even landing on you please don't get scared, please appreciate the possibility that the bee might think that you are as beautiful as a flower. Send us a photo of the bee to [email protected]
It takes one colony of honey bees (around 30,000 bees) to pollinate an acre of fruit trees. Pollination success increases if there are more honey bees present at the time of peak flowering.
A colony of honey bees in summer has 50-80,000 bees. A honey bee flies up to 24 km /hr or 15 mph and its wings beat 200 times per second or 12,000 beats / minute.
It requires 556 worker bees to gather a pound of honey. The bottle that you have is 8 oz. So it took about 278 bees to produce your bottle.
Some people have told us this honey has helped with allergies.
And this candle is created from beeswax from our bees!
Enjoy.

Sweetener
Honey is sweet—that’s a given. And it adds a special touch to almost every recipe. It can be your secret ingredient that's always revealing new possibilities.

From balancing flavors to providing moisture to baked goods, honey excels in a slew of tasks—all from one little bottle and only one ingredient.
Natural Energy
Honey is a natural source of carbohydrates, providing 17 grams per tablespoon, which makes it ideal for your working muscles. Since carbohydrates are the primary fuel the body uses, honey can help maintain muscle glycogen, also known as stored carbohydrates, which gives athletes the boost they need when they need it most.
Cough Suppressant
Honey has been used for centuries to help alleviate symptoms of the common cold, and now research confirms this approach for children ages one and older. Honey offers an effective and natural alternative to over-the-counter cough medicine. Though time is the most important healer of a sore throat, a spoonful of honey can help relieve the irritation.
Important Reminder
Honey is a versatile and wholesome food for older children and adults. Honey may be introduced into a child’s diet after the age of one, but not before,
