No, crystallized honey, “sugared” honey, or honey in a more solid state is not bad. In fact, it means that the honey is raw and unpasteurized! Eventually, all honey that is raw will develop crystals. If you would like your honey to be runny again, you can simply warm it up low and slow, to remove the crystals and return it to a more liquid-state. Hop over to our blog post and learn more!

No, honey does not need to be refrigerated. It is perfectly safe to keep at room temperature in an air-tight container. It is shelf stable.

Royal Honey Company is based out of and operates out of the Royal City area in Washington State. The bees pollinate all over Washington, and some also travel to California to help pollinate the almond trees there.

We extract honey during certain times throughout the year, however our honey is available for purchase year-round.

All of our honey is pure, raw, and unfiltered, with nothing added; except for our flavor-infused honey, which has only our flavoring infused into the honey. We never add corn syrup or any other additives to our honey.

All of our honey is sourced from our own bees! We do not use honey from any other beekeepers or sources.

Our honey is raw and never pasteurized!

If you are interested in coming to take a tour of Royal Honey Company, please feel free to contact us! We have done tours and field trips and we love educating others about bees and honey! Please keep in mind that tours will depend on our availability and the time of year it is. Email info@royalhoneycompany.com or head over to our Contact page. We can't wait to meet you!

We currently do not remove wild swarms of bees at this time.

We mail out your honey orders directly from our headquarters located in the rural slopes of Central Washington. Due to our location, the weight of honey, and the fact our product is considered "perishable," the price of shipping can be expensive. But oh so worth it!

Yes! When you check out, select the "local meetup" option in the shipping drop down menu. Your final order form will give more details on where the meetup location is and how to schedule it! Please email abigail@royalhoneycompany.com for more details on pickup orders.
