Honey is harvested by removing frames from the hive that are filled with honeycomb. The honeycomb is then extracted using a centrifuge to spin out the honey, which is then strained and bottled.
The color and flavor of honey is dependent on the type of flower nectar that the bees collect. Generally, lighter honey comes from flowers with lighter nectar and darker honey comes from flowers with darker nectar.
Honey has an indefinite shelf life if stored properly in a cool, dry place. It may crystallize over time, but this is normal and can be easily remedied by gently heating the honey.
