Mil - Raw Irish Honey with Propolis & Pollen from Mark's Farm West Cork

Raw Irish Honey with Propolis & Pollen from West Cork

How our natural honey mix of was “discovered” and how our Raw Irish Honey with Propolis & Pollen from West Cork is made.

Years ago a neighbour requested removal of a swarm that had been living in their roof for many years. After scooping out the wax, pollen and honey and then cold filtering it, we thought the taste of the mix was ambrosial!

We decided to create our own “wild honey” mix thereafter.
We used to call it Mil – Raw Irish Honey with Propolis & Pollen from West Cork due to EU regulation, but those rules have changed now to make large companies explain where their honey comes from.
Now we can simply say it’s our raw honey with propolis & pollen mix, and of course it’s pure Irish honey from our 30 hives located in the heart of West Cork.

Our mixture, made from the purest bee products has several unique features: It’s raw, coastal, unheated, unfiltered honey. It is an all natural, artisan, hand-crafted product with no additives. It comes from a small enterprise, with himself, beekeeper Mark, living on the WILD ATLANTIC WAY, doing all the work by hand.

Our best quality Irish Coastal honey

Our bees are looked after in a natural way, i.e. working them when the weather is optimal and using only natural products to keep them healthy from illness like varroa mite. We also have a natural way of cultivating the soil, fruit and vegetables we cultivate as well as minding our animals using homeopathy and other non pharmaceutical methods where possible.

The fabulous Irish honey our bees provide is gathered, extracted and stored naturally. It is raw; non-heated, untreated, non-filtered and non-strained.

We guarantee that there is neither water, nor sugar added. There is nothing but the highest quality, purest Irish farm honey, pollen and propolis in the jar.

By retaining their natural by-products, the honey may look messy or change colour, the nectar is exceptionally healthy. There can be wax residue also, this is made by the bees, and can be eaten. The honey may crystallize, reverse this by putting it out in the sun or near the heating. Don’t heat it up in teas etc. though, it weakens some of the healthy properties.
