About Us

Central Pennsylvania offers 4 main "flows", which are the times when flowers are producing enough nectar that bees can make the excess honey that we take from them.  I collect near the end of each flow and keep the honies separate for your tasting pleasure.

 

In May, the Black Locust tree (a species native to the Northeast) produces beautiful strings of flowers that produce nectar that honey bees use to make fanastic honey.

 

Throughout June, there are many varieties of flowers blooming, and since we do not have mono-culture farming in the area we end up with "wildflower."

 

In July, multiple varieties of Clover bloom, producing honey that is a little darker. 

 

Finally, in September, Goldenrod and Asters bloom, producing honey that is generally very dark and robust.

Practices

Korte Beeworx is a small business in State College, PA selling raw, pure honey that has been created, collected, processed, and packaged in the State College region.  All the bees are mine, and all of the other work performed by me!

 

I package my honey in 4, 8, and 16 fl.oz. canning jars.  These sizes correspond to 5, 10, and 20 ounces by weight of honey.  In this way, the packaging is reusable-
