FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is “local”?
We currently have hives in Lincoln, Madison, Ouachita and Richland Parishes. All hives are treated naturally, and nothing is added to the honey we sell.
Why can't babies have honey?
Honey can contain certain toxins that an infant's digestive systems is too immature to process. These spores are usually harmless to adults and children over one-year-old because of the microorganisms normally found in more mature digestive systems that keep the bacteria from growing. To stay on the safe side, avoid giving your baby honey or honey-related products until at least 12 months of age.
What is Honey Spread?
Honey Spread is 100%, raw all-natural honey. There is nothing added to our honey spread: no butter, no sugar, or no additives! We do not want to take away from the health benefit or delicious flavor of our natural honey. (The only thing we have done is add more deliciousness to the peach flavored spread by adding natural peach flavor. Still no sugar, still nothing else added.)
How do you make it so smooth?
That’s the secret to Duke’s Honey Spread. But, we promise you our name and give you our word, you can rest assured that it is still 100%, pure Duke’s Honey. Enjoy!
My honey has crystallized. What do I do?
You can undo this by placing your honey in a pot of hot (not boiling) water, leave it on a warm stove while cooking, or just let it happen naturally in the sunlight. However, it is very important to not let your honey get too hot, as that is what removes all the great things in it that are beneficial! (This is where commercialized honey that is pasteurized comes in: it never crystallizes but it also doesn’t have the health benefits and good things still in it.)
