LakeEffectHoney
Announcement
We offer our own Raw, unfiltered honey and products from our hives as well as herbal offerings to support and enhance your health and wellness.
Our raw, natural honey and beeswax comes from our hives where we can control the chemicals that go into the hives. Our herbs and plants are sourced from the best and closest growers we can find. Or better yet, we wildcraft or grow our own where we can. Our paper and packing materials are mostly from recycled, reused, or recycled materials.
My jewelry incorporates high quality natural stones with high quality metals using traditional metalsmithing skills. Each piece of jewelry is unique and crafted by me in Upstate NY while looking outside at the trees and our bee hives. My studio is a small scale and is where I saw, file, torch, sand, and polish each piece with love surrounded by my dogs and some really good music.

5 out of 5 starsI love this tincture. Bee Propolis heals all sorts of things and love the quality of this maker. This is a reorder as i dont want to be caught without one when my bottle runs out, as there was a month or so wait last time, while the bees timing/harvest propolis/tincture brew time worked its way out. LOVE this stuff.

5 out of 5 starsExcellent quality of raw honey, exactly as described. A great gift of bee loving plant seeds were included. As a person with an immune deficiency, allergies and asthma I eat local raw honey daily, it was great to find Lake Effect Honey in such sort notice and received so quickly.

Raw unfiltered honey, hive products AND our handcrafted jewelry
We produce pure, raw honey from our hives in Newark, NY and Palermo, NY. Raw honey still contains vitamins, amino acids, and pollen. We extract and bottle all of our honey ourselves. We are committed to managing our hives organically. We do not use our hives to pollinate commercial crops and this means less pesticide, fungicide, and herbicide exposure for our bees, and these poisons are not carried back to the hive to be in your honey, wax, and propolis. We harvest our honey seasonally – spring, summer, and late summer– to capture the distinct floral flavors and aromas that are representative of the native trees and wildflowers in our area of upstate NY.
Our jewelry is handcrafted with mixed metals inlcuding sterling silver, copper, and brass. Our pieces are inspired by nature and the beauty of our landscapes. We utilize a variety of natural stones in our pieces including turquoise, jasper, and many more. Who does not love to play with fire and hammer metal after a stressful day?
