raw wildflower honey; creamed honey (no flavors added); various beeswax products including candles & filtered beeswax; propolis tincture About Us We are beekeepers in the Beaverdale neighborhood of Des Moines, Iowa caring for around 150-200 hives (depending on the year or the season) in & around Polk County including Madison, Warren, & Dallas Counties. We sell our pure raw unfiltered honey, unflavored creamed honey, handmade beeswax items, and propolis tincture. Everything we produce is harvested from our own hives: honey, beeswax, & propolis. Browse through our Products for Sale Ingredients We offer our 100% raw unfiltered wildflower honey and filtered beeswax and propolis from our hives. Practices (our standards for raising or making our products) We care for our hives in & around Des Moines & operate our small family business out of our home in Beaverdale. Our honey is pure, raw wildflower honey, a blend of honey the bees produced as they foraged on the various blooms available throughout the seasons of the year. We usually harvest in September each year & coarse-filter the honey. It is as straight-from-the-hive as possible! Our handmade beeswax products are 100% natural beeswax rendered from our own hives. We render the wax cappings collected during honey harvest by giving them 3 water baths to remove debris as well as some of the embedded honey & pollen. This results in a clean wax that is suitable for use in cosmetics & candlemaking, yet it retains the beneficial properties of natural beeswax. We then fine filter the wax a minimum of one more time. The propolis we use in our tincture is harvested from our own hives using plastic propolis traps. The traps provide a way to harvest clean propolis (rather than scraping propolis from equipment such as the wooden hive boxes & frames). After collecting the propolis, we carefully sort out & filter by hand any physical impurities. Additional Information What is raw wildflower honey? * unheated * unprocessed * unpasteurized Our pure, raw wildflower honey is as close to honey straight from the hive as possible. Our honey is extracted, run through a coarse filter, & bottled for you! The bees forage on a mix of wildflowers that come into bloom at different times over the seasons, so our resulting honey has a taste, flavor, & aroma that is a blend of the variety of flower species growing near the hives; these attributes will vary from extraction to extraction within a year as well as from year to year. Why use 100% beeswax candles? * all natural * beautiful color * subtle, honey-like scent * slow- & clean-burning * burns brightly, providing more light than other candles * dripless & smokeless (in a draft-free environment) * cleans the air as it burns (it emits negative ions, capturing & neutralizing dust, odors, mold, bacteria, other toxins) * non-toxic, non-hazardous, non-carcinogenic Highlights this Month September 2020 Hello & thank you for supporting local Iowa producers especially during these difficult times! We are glad we can continue to provide you with our products & so appreciate the IFC for giving us an outlet with which to do so. Our hives were not harmed during the August 2020 derecho storm, thankfully. We really feel that the weight of the honey in the hives as well as the propolized hive boxes helped the bees weather the intense winds. We have finished extracting for the 2020 season! We are grateful to have a yield of about 10,000 pounds, so we expect to have plenty of honey for you throughout 2021. Our raw honey is a blend of what our bees foraged on throughout the seasons of 2020. We have added a 13-oz glass honey bear ($8) as well as a 3-lb plastic squeeze jar ($16.50) to our offerings. We have also added 2 new 100% beeswax candles: a large “wild fern” pillar & a small “bear with skep hive” votive. We purchased that particular votive mold due to a customer requesting it, so please know we are very receptive to suggestions! We are excited to offer propolis tincture. It is something we have wanted to make for quite a while, & an IFC member asking for it is what finally prompted us to get it done. There are details about the product in it's listing on the IFC ordering site, but do contact us if you have any questions. We also have new shapes & sizes of our filtered 100% beeswax, some of which are perfectly sized to use in electric wax melters. THANK YOU for bringing our glass honey jars (don't worry about the lids) back to the IFC; we can sanitize them for reuse. We greatly appreciate the efforts & your friendliness toward the environment. If you'd like to leave your name and IFC member number with what you bring back for us, we would love to include you in our regular drawings to receive a free jar of our honey ...a small way for us to thank you! We package our candles carefully to protect them from dust & dings & also so they make a nice presentation whether going home to you or to someone you are giving them as a gift to. However, if you wish to forgo fancier packaging, just leave us a comment when you order. We can package them simply & safely while saving on paper or plastic. A selection of our honey, candles, & other beeswax products are on the shelves at the IFC at the Franklin Plaza, so you can get a hands-on look at some of our products there when you stop by to pick up your order. If you ever need anything in a larger quantity than is listed on the IFC website, you are welcome to contact us. With enough notice, larger orders can certainly be accommodated. That is true, too, if you are interested in a certain size of honey container or shape of candle that is not currently listed--we are always happy to consider special orders. Thank you for your interest! --Andy, Catherine, and Harlan |

This is a 20% propolis solution made with 80-proof 100% organic vodka & propolis that we harvested from our hives.
(We have used a vodka farm-crafted in Minnesota for this batch, but subsequent batches will use an Iowa-produced vodka.) Propolis is a sticky, microbially active resinous substance produced by plants to protect their leaf or flower buds during development & is also secreted around plant wounds for protection from bacteria & fungi. Honey bees gather propolis from trees & plants & use it to seal cracks & crevices in the hives. The propolis protects the hive from bacteria & fungi similar to how it protects the plants. We use propolis traps on our hives to harvest clean propolis. After collecting the propolis, we carefully sort out & filter by hand any physical impurities. We then use food-grade grain alcohol to extract its properties. Among a variety of valuable attributes, propolis is thought to be anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, & anti-inflammatory. It has a long history as a healer: for thousand of years, it has been used as an antiseptic, an anesthetic, & a wound-healer, among many other things. This tincture can be used as an ingredient in your homemade treatments: added to lotions, creams, & salves, it has restorative capabilities for the skin. This tincture is decanted into an amber glass bottle to offer the best protection from UV light & comes with a sealed dropper "pipette" lid for easier measurement. It will last a minimum of one year if stored in a cool, dark place. INGREDIENTS: (part-Iowa) 80-proof 100% organic corn grain alcohol (vodka) & propolis harvested from our own hives |
