Cold extraction, high-altitude forage, and Dubois apiary craft.
The Honey House is an artisanal apiary goods workshop located at 123 E Rams Horn in Dubois, Wyoming. We cold-centrifuge raw single-source sweet clover honey, harvest virgin mountain wildflower comb, and assemble handcrafted pine gift samplers without heat, chemical filtering, or syrup blending.

1. Operator Identity & Workshop Governance
This site is operated by Thehoneyhousewy, trading at thehoneyhousewy.com (operating commercially as The Honey House). We are an artisanal high-altitude apiary and hive goods workshop established in Dubois, Wyoming in 2022 by founder and beekeeper Anna Kuznetsova.
Our workshop and primary commercial base is located at 123 E Rams Horn, Dubois, Wyoming 82513, Dubois, Wyoming, United States. The business operates under the governing law of Wyoming, United States, with any disputes heard in the courts of Dubois. These operational terms and disclosures take effect on November 12, 2026 (2026-11-12).
2. What We Do & Verifiable Operations
The Honey House is engaged in specific, verifiable high-altitude apiculture, cold extraction, and workshop production activities that any visitor or regulatory reviewer can inspect:
- Cold-Centrifuged Raw Honey: We harvest single-source sweet clover and mountain wildflower honey in the Upper Wind River valley at 6,940 feet elevation. Uncapping is conducted cold by hand with serrated stainless steel knives. Extraction is performed cold at ambient room temperature (68°F) via radial centrifugal extractors. Honey is passed through a single coarse 400-micron stainless steel mesh, preserving active enzymes (invertase, glucose oxidase) and natural wildflower pollen grains. We do not heat, pasteurise, micro-filter, or blend harvests with syrups.
- Mountain Cut Comb Honey: We produce raw, unheated virgin honeycomb sections cut straight from wooden frames into protective containers.
- Hive Apothecary Goods: We collect raw bee pollen using bottom hive traps, gently dehydrating granules below 85°F to safeguard vital nutrients. We formulate 1:5 whole-hive propolis tinctures by cold-macerating raw hive propolis resin in organic grape spirits for 60 days.
- Handcrafted Pine Gift Samplers: We mill local timber into presentation boxes, cushioned with untreated spruce excelsior, holding 3 oz to 12 oz glass jars with hand-stamped harvest lot tags. These sets begin at a baseline price of $28.
- Direct Reserve Fulfillment: We sell exclusively through direct customer inquiries and seasonal reservations. Jars are packed directly from sealed workshop tanks at 123 E Rams Horn, Dubois, WY, for local collection or tracked priority courier delivery. We do not operate bulk automated shopping carts or third-party drop-shipping.
3. The Upper Wind River Apiary Context
Dubois sits in a high mountain valley at 6,940 feet elevation, sheltered between the volcanic Absaroka Range to the north and the granitic Wind River Range to the south. The climate is defined by intense summer sunlight, cool alpine nights falling into the 40s even in July, and pure snowmelt feeding the Upper Wind River corridor.
These extreme conditions create exceptional honey forage. Mountain sweet clover (Melilotus albus), wild alfalfa, and late-season yellow rabbitbrush bloom along sub-irrigated valley meadows. Bees must forage with heightened efficiency during the brief mountain summer window. The arid high-altitude atmosphere allows the colony to reduce honey moisture down to 16.4%–17.2% naturally, well below the USDA 18.6% threshold for Grade A raw honey.
4. Workshop Philosophy: Engineering-Grade Cold Extraction
Industrial honey processing routinely heats bulk tanks to 160°F to force rapid mechanical flow through sub-micron diatomaceous earth filters. That process destroys delicate floral invertase and glucose oxidase enzymes, dissolves microscopic pollen grains, and blends harvests from disparate global sources to hit an artificial uniform amber color.
At The Honey House, we adhere to strict cold-extraction standards:
- Unheated Manual Uncapping: We uncap cedar comb frames by hand using cold serrated stainless steel blades, never steam-heated or electric planes that scorch raw wax.
- Centrifugal Extraction: Frames are spun cold at room temperature (68°F ambient) in radial extractors, releasing honey at natural viscosity.
- Surgical 400-Micron Mesh: We strain honey once through coarse 400-micron stainless steel mesh. This catches stray beeswax flakes while allowing native mountain pollen grains, micro-bubbles, and active propolis resins to pass directly into glass jars.
- Single-Origin Lot Integrity: We never blend July water-white sweet clover harvests with August darker wildflower comb honey. Every batch carries its harvest date, lot number, and refractometer moisture reading.
5. Handcrafted Pine Gift Sets & Hive Apothecary
Beyond single-origin clover honey, our workshop produces natural hive products and curated Wyoming presentation sets. We gather raw bee pollen with bottom-mounted hive traps, drying the granules below 85°F to preserve fragile bio-active flavonoids. We steep raw hive propolis resin in organic grape spirit for 60 days to formulate 1:5 whole-hive tinctures.
Our signature gift samplers feature three to six glass jars packed in custom pine crates milled from local raw timber. Nested in natural spruce excelsior wood shavings and fastened with brass clasps, these sets begin at a fixed baseline of $28. Each box carries the hand-numbered harvest inspection tag verified on Rams Horn Street.
6. Direct Reserve Inquiry Model
Because raw, unheated honey, fresh pollen granules, and propolis tinctures are living biological substances sensitive to prolonged heat and shelf aging, we do not operate an automated retail shopping cart or bulk warehouse.
Every customer order is handled on a direct inquiry basis. Prospective buyers submit batch requirements through our site inquiry form or contact Anna Kuznetsova directly at our Dubois desk. We verify current harvest lot availability, pack fresh jars from sealed workshop tanks, and arrange either local pickup on Rams Horn Street or tracked priority shipment.
