Raw high-altitude clover honey extracted cold without pasteurisation.
Raw unfiltered clover honey, mountain cut comb, bee pollen, and propolis come straight from Dubois, Wyoming apiaries for retail and wholesale buyers. Cold centrifugal straining through 400-micron mesh preserves active enzymes and native pollen.
Cold centrifugal extraction of Wind River sweet clover honey
Industrial honey packers heat their tanks to 160°F to force rapid mechanical flow through sub-micron diatomaceous earth filters. That process melts natural beeswax cappings and destroys delicate floral invertase enzymes, creating clear syrup stripped of botanical character.
Centrifugal extractors operate at ambient room temperature inside the Rams Horn Street workshop in Dubois. Cedar comb frames spin cold, releasing raw clover honey at natural viscosity. The liquid flows directly through a surgical 400-micron stainless steel mesh that catches stray wax fragments while allowing microscopic pollen grains and bio-active propolis particles to pass directly into food-grade glass jars.
Our high-altitude clover honey carries an optical refractometer moisture reading between 16.4% and 17.2%. This low moisture percentage guarantees natural shelf stability without pasteurisation, chemical preservatives, or syrup blending. Because the product remains unheated, it will naturally form fine, pale crystals below 58°F.
Sizing pure hive products by weight and custom box samplers
Apothecary glass containers and Wyoming pine crates hold raw honey, clean bee pollen granules, propolis tincture, and pure beeswax tapers. Quotes depend strictly on product weight (3–12 oz), gift set arrangement (3–6 jar samplers), harvest season, and retail versus wholesale volume.
Individual raw clover honey jars start at $12 for 6 oz and $21 for 12 oz. Raw bee pollen sells from $9 for 3 oz to $16 for 6 oz. Our signature 3-jar handcrafted Dubois Meadow Trio gift box begins at $28, packed with three 3 oz hexagonal jars and sealed with raw cotton twine.

Inspecting honey supers and maintaining Dubois Chamber standards
The Honey House is owned and operated by Anna Kuznetsova, established in Dubois in 2022. Anna holds active membership in the Dubois Chamber of Commerce and manages hive inspections directly across Upper Wind River apiaries.
Regional apiary harvests remain unblended to preserve the distinct floral character of each extraction rather than yielding a uniform commercial amber grade. When mountain sweet clover yields an exceptionally pale, water-white harvest in July, it goes into bottles as single-origin lot clover. When late August yellow rabbitbrush and wild alfalfa produce a richer amber profile, inspection tags record the floral transition.
Every lot is traceable to a specific extraction run on Rams Horn Street. Optical refractometer testing verifies density before extraction begins. If a frame has open nectar cells reading above 18.0% moisture, it is held back in the hive supers until the honeybees cap the comb with dry beeswax, ensuring raw shelf stability.
Direct reserve inquiry for raw honey batches and gift crates
Direct reservations protect raw honey, live bee pollen, and propolis tinctures from prolonged storage. Bottling and crating happen upon confirmation of each request, ensuring fresh dispatch straight from the Dubois workshop.
Extracting 160 pounds of high-altitude sweet clover honey in Dubois
On July 24, sixteen shallow Langstroth supers came in from apiary yards along the Upper Wind River valley floor at 6,940 feet elevation. Mountain sweet clover had bloomed intensely across irrigated river meadows following late spring snowmelt. The combs showed 95% white wax cappings, signalling complete enzymatic reduction by the worker bees.
Frames entered the Rams Horn Street workshop for hand-uncapping with an unheated serrated stainless steel knife. Avoiding heated uncapping planes prevents wax from melting into the honey and keeps volatile aromatics sealed inside the cell liquid.
The frames were spun in our radial extractor for eighteen minutes at gentle acceleration. The raw honey dropped through the tank drain into our 400-micron strainer at 68°F. Optical refractometer testing measured a final moisture level of 16.6%, producing water-white clarity with faint vanilla undertones. The entire 160-pound yield was transferred into sterilised 6 oz and 12 oz glass jars within four hours of extraction.
Packing three-jar custom pine samplers for regional gift delivery
In mid-October, an order arrived requesting twenty-four gift crates for corporate recipients in western Wyoming. The buyer requested a curated selection of our high-altitude harvests packed in wooden presentation cases with zero plastic cushioning or petroleum-based bubble film.
Raw Wyoming ponderosa pine slats milled in the workshop formed twenty-four three-compartment crates measuring 8.5 by 3.5 inches. Each crate was fitted with a brass hook closure and stamped with the Dubois Chamber of Commerce verified lot mark. Beds of natural spruce excelsior wood shavings provided internal cushioning.
Each box was fitted with one 3 oz jar of Wind River Sweet Clover Honey, one 3 oz jar of Mountain Wildflower Honey, and one 3 oz jar of raw dried bee pollen. The jars were capped with gold tin lids and secured with unbleached cotton twine and hand-written lot inspection cards. The baseline quote was delivered at $28 per box, including individual packing and batch inspection certificates.
Crystallisation standards and who our raw honey does not suit
Customer clarity on purity standards matters. If you require water-thin, crystal-clear syrup that sits on a grocery shelf for three years without solidifying, our raw honey is not for you. Commercial honey achieves perpetual liquidity only by heating above 160°F to dissolve sugar crystal nuclei and micro-filtering out the pollen grains that give natural honey its body.
Because The Honey House extracts completely cold through a 400-micron strainer, our honey contains natural glucose crystals and pollen grains. It will thicken and crystallise into a velvety spread within three to five months. This is natural proof of unheated raw purity. If you prefer liquid honey, simply place the glass jar in a warm water bath at 95°F for thirty minutes. Never microwave raw honey, as concentrated heat destroys live enzymes.
In accordance with pediatric medical guidelines, raw honey must never be fed to infants under one year of age.
Why does raw Wyoming honey crystallise in the jar?
Raw honey contains two primary sugars: glucose and fructose. High-altitude clover honey naturally carries a higher glucose ratio. Because we do not heat or ultra-filter our harvest, microscopic pollen grains remain in the jar, acting as natural seed points around which glucose forms fine, soft crystals. This is the hallmark of genuine raw honey.
What is the price basis for individual jars and gift sets?
Pricing is determined by product weight (3–12 oz), packaging arrangement (3–6 jar samplers), and retail versus wholesale volume. Individual 6 oz honey jars start at $12, 12 oz jars at $21, and raw pollen jars from $9. Handcrafted 3-jar gift crates in pine start at $28.
How are direct batch orders shipped or picked up?
Local orders may be collected directly from our workshop at 123 E Rams Horn in Dubois. Regional and interstate orders are packed in heavy corrugated boxes with moulded pulp protection and dispatched via USPS Priority Mail or commercial freight for wholesale crates.
