Honey is a bi-product here on the farm.  Neighbor (and cousin) Gene, who lives just across the field, is our beekeeper here on Sun Gold Farm.  Gene does not do anything halfway, and is a walking encyclopedia on the little-known facts and impressive capabilities of bees and their by-product.  We here on the farm are most interested in their pollination capabilities, and usually have 8-10 hives here every summer to work in the cucumbers, squash, orchard, and pumpkin fields.  We not only appreciate the bees' efforts, but we enjoy watching them go about business every day. We have all heard the expression "busy as a bee", and it is oh so true!  The bee's single goal in life is to feed it's queen back at the hive, and in doing so, they are producing fruits and vegetables for you and I. They make thousands of trips into the fields daily to visit blossoms and return to the hive with nectar and pollen.  In return, we not only get an increase in vegetable and fruit production, but we get copious amounts ofnatural, healthful honey.
The honey will be from bees working our fields, and also surrounding hedgerows and yards. It will be raw honey so as to contain the most health benefits.  This is an add-on to the 2011 harvest share. We will only sell 100 of these shares, so the honey will only be available until sold out.
