Our Honey

Primus Honey is 100% natural. Our products contain no artificial preservatives or additives of any kind. To preserve the delicate flavors we make our own honey. Honeybees are brought to various bee sites (aka apiaries) found throughout the Western United States where they will fly for miles finding the blooms and bringing the nectar back to the hive.
