The Johns' family has been operating the Point Phillip Honey Farm since 1975.  We sell a large array of  bee related products.

Pure, Raw Honey

Just as every flower has a different color and a different scent, every flower has its own particular flavor of honey.  They vary from the very light water-white honey to the dark, full-bodied honey, dependent upon the nectar flower source.  At Point Phillip our honey is a blend of wildflowers.  It is a medium, full-bodied honey.

Another important thing about our honey is that it is raw.  Always make sure that the label states raw honey.  It is always best to buy from a beekeeper to be sure. Commercial honey is processed at high heat to prevent crystallization and for ease of bottling.  The flavor of the honey and much of the nutritional value of honey is destroyed by heat.  If raw honey should crystallize just place it in a pan of hot water to melt the crystals.  It is not spoiled - do not throw it away!  Honey never spoils!

Why is honey better for you than refined white sugar?  Honey contains two sugars, dextrose and levulose, which are pre-digested and ready to enter the bloodstream immediately.  Honey is also free of bacteria and does not irritate the stomach.  In addition, honey contains many nutrients that the body needs.  It also provides us with a quick energy release.  White cane sugar and honey differ in every way.  After processing, white sugar contains nothing but empty calories and carbohydrates.  Everything else has been removed.  Honey contains some of every nutrient except Vitamin A.

Cooking With Honey

The following are suggestions for successful cooking with honey:

Bee Pollen - Nature's Energizer

Bee-gathered pollen is a food supplement.  It is high in proteins, vitamins, minerals and enzymes.  It contains all 22 essential amino acids needed by our body.  A teaspoon taken daily helps increase your stamina and your energy level.  It will also help regulate intestinal functions and has a calming effect.  Pollen is high in rutin – a natural muscle relaxant that also helps reduce hypertension.  Pollen is low in sodium and in calories.  Pollen from your own geographical area can help reduce the effect of pollen-related allergies ~ i.e. hay fever.  This is based on the same principle as allergy shots ~ a build-up of natural immunity.  Pollen should never be cooked.  Sprinkle it raw on cereals, salads, etc. or eat it plain or mixed with honey.  Our pollen is sun-dried so it will not spoil.

100% Beeswax - So Hard To Find

Drawers that stick, windows that won't slide and that unruly moustache - beeswax solves it all, plus much, much more. The most popular use of beeswax is to make beautiful, smokeless, dripless, naturally scented, long burning candles.  We make many different sizes and shapes of beeswax candles.  All of the candles can withstand much higher temperatures than paraffin candles.  They will also not distort or warp from the heat.  Beeswax is also available in blocks, ranging in size from 1 ounce to several pounds.
