Frequently Asked Questions

What types of honey does Keiner's Apiary typically offer?
Small PA apiaries usually offer wildflower honey as their primary product, with flavor and color varying by season based on what's blooming. Some producers may separate harvests to offer a lighter spring honey and a darker, more robust fall variety.
Is Keiner's Apiary honey certified organic?
Organic certification for honey is difficult to obtain because it requires controlling what plants bees forage across a large radius. Most small local apiaries in Pennsylvania are not certified organic, but that doesn't mean the honey isn't clean and naturally produced.
Where can I buy Keiner's Apiary honey if I can't visit Wapwallopen?
Call (570) 417-3262 to ask if they sell at any local farmers markets or through any regional retail outlets. Some small apiaries also ship within Pennsylvania, depending on the season and available stock.
How should I store local honey after I buy it?
Honey stores best at room temperature in a sealed container, away from direct sunlight. You don't need to refrigerate it, and if it crystallizes, gently warming the jar in warm water will return it to a liquid state without damaging quality.
Can Luzerne County honey taste different from honey produced elsewhere in PA?
Yes, honey takes on the character of the local flora, so honey from Luzerne County's mix of forested hills and river valley farmland will taste noticeably different from, say, honey produced in Lancaster County's cultivated fields. That regional difference is part of the appeal.
Do small apiaries like this one sell beeswax or other hive products?
Many small beekeepers do produce beeswax as a byproduct of honey extraction, and some sell it separately for candle making or skincare. It's worth asking when you call if beeswax or other hive products are available alongside the honey.
