Antheia was the Greek goddess of flowers and flowery wreaths—a fitting namesake for our elegant glass hex jar, inspired by the six-sided cells of the honeycomb.
 
Filled with raw Iowa honey from our central Iowa apiaries, The Antheia makes a beautiful gift, tasting jar, or addition to your own table.
 
Choose Your Antheia
Available in 3/4 lb, 1/3 lb, and .18 lb glass hex jars. The 1/3 lb and .18 lb sizes are also available with a mini wooden honey dipper tied to the jar.
Choose from the honey varietals currently available. Because we keep honey from our apiaries separate rather than blending them together, each offers its own taste of the flowers and trees growing within the surrounding area.
 
Hyper-Local Iowa Honey
Our bees gather nectar within roughly three miles of each apiary in central Iowa. The resulting honey reflects the local flora, weather, bloom periods, and growing conditions unique to that place and season.
 
Our varietals are not monofloral. We identify them by apiary and primary nectar source when one can be determined, while recognizing that our bees may also gather nectar from clover, wildflowers, and other blooming plants nearby.
 
Black Locust honey is delicately sweet and pale in color, with subtle vanilla notes. Linden/Basswood honey offers a distinctive medium sweetness with fruity notes and hints of citrus or mint. Wildflower honey reflects the changing mix of nectar available throughout the season.  Notably, our Indianola Wildflower is very dark and sweet this year.  
 
When you select Black Locust or Linden/Basswood honey, we’ll also include food-pairing suggestions to help you explore its distinctive flavor.
