| About Us |
| We are The Bee Folks - a small, family-run beekeeping business based in Mount Airy, MD. In addition to the honey produced by our 15-25 beehives, we also buy and resell honey from other beekeepers. We specialize in varietal honey - honey derived from a single floral source, like Tupelo or Orange Blossoms.
Over time, we decided to meet a need within the Orthodox market for kosher-certified honey. Our certifying agency is Star-K, based in Baltimore, MD. Our certification letter can be found here.
During our first year of certification, we were surprised by the large number of requests we received for kosher honey for fundraisers. We made some mistakes that year, but learned from the process, and are better prepared this year to answer your questions.

| Why Kosher Honey |
| We are often asked, "Isn't all honey kosher?"
The quick answer is "YES - pure honey is inherently kosher"! However, the news is full of tales of adulterated food products, including honey. As part of our inspection by Star-K, we need to satisfy the Rabbi that our honey is not adulterated with corn syrup or other cutting agents. We take great pains to deal specifically with raw honey direct from other beekeepers, thus avoiding potential conflict with kosher requirements.
