Our Murphys California Cut Comb Honey captures the natural character of the Sierra Nevada foothills in its most traditional form. From May through September, honey bees gather nectar from the diverse flowers blooming throughout Murphys’ oak woodlands, chaparral, meadows, gardens, vineyards, creek corridors, and foothill forests.
Instead of extracting the honey from the comb, cut comb honey is harvested as naturally sealed honeycomb. Each piece contains honey stored by the bees in their own beeswax cells and capped with a thin layer of fresh wax when the honey is ready. The result is a delicious combination of pure honey and edible beeswax, offering a unique texture and an authentic taste of the hive.
Murphys sits within a rich transition zone of California foothill habitats where flowering plants change throughout the growing season. As spring turns to summer, bees move among California buckwheat, white sage, toyon, coffeeberry, blackberry, clover, California fuchsia, wild buckwheat, riparian flowers, and summer wildflowers.
The exact character of each harvest reflects the flowers blooming around the hives, along with seasonal rainfall, temperature, elevation, and local growing conditions. Because cut comb preserves the honey in its original beeswax cells, it provides a particularly direct connection between the flowers, the bees, and the finished honey.
Cut Comb Honey is meant to be enjoyed just as the bees made it. Place a piece on warm toast or biscuits, serve it with cheese and fruit, add it to a charcuterie board, or simply enjoy a small piece by itself.
From Flowers to You, Nature’s Goodness — naturally sealed in the comb.
