Cox's Honey is sponsoring this giveaway today and we want to thank them for giving us this opportunity. Coxs honey is raw and unfiltered honey. The company was started back in 1880 in Orderville, Utah by Delaun Mills Cox. Mr. Cox produced enough sweet honey for the entire city before moving the operations to Shelley, Idaho. Delaun kept his beehives going more like a hobby. But after World War I he began making more money as a hobbyist than his previous holdings. During the following years honey prices became depressed and in 1925 his son, Orville S. Cox took over his bee business. Orville made the bee business his tool of trade for his livelihood and raising his family. He produced, packaged and sold clover honey.

This Cox's Honey Giveaway is open to any resident who is 18 years of age or older who lives in one of the 48 US Contiguous States. This giveaway starts on Wednesday, Oct. 1st at 5:00 am (MDT) and ends on Monday, Oct. 6th at 5:00 pm (MDT). The winner will be notified by email and will have 24 hours to respond. If we do not hear back from said winner in the designated time period of 24 hours we will choose another winner and they will have 24 hours to respond from the time the notification email is sent. Please check your SPAM email folders.

Good luck to everyone! Let's be prepared for the unexpected! a Rafflecopter giveaway

What Sets Cox's Honey Apart?
Extraction: During the extraction process, each frame of honey is checked and scrutinized. We are thorough in picking out honey frames that may change the quality of the honey. We are also careful in the process of spinning and moving the honey as to make sure it maintains the consistency and characteristics of pure clover honey.

Bees, Work, Honey

Honey is the sweet fluid produced by honey bees from the nectar of flowers. Worker honey bees transform the floral nectar that they gather into honey by adding enzymes to the nectar and reducing the moisture.

Bees also manufacturer edible wax comb in the hive. The honey is stored in these wax cells (the honeycomb) in the upper parts of the hive. When the bees have filled each cell in the comb with honey the bees cover them with wax caps. At harvest time, the beekeeper extracts the honey from the comb and may also sell the wax for many products.

Honey Nutrition and Honey Facts

Have a question about honey? Take some time to explore our honey facts section. There’s a good chance someone else may have had the same question already! If you still cannot find the answer to your question, use the form on our contact page to submit your question direct to Cox’s Honey.

Bees are a social insect with a division of labor. There is one queen, 500-1000 drones and 30,000 to 60,000 worker bees. The queen may lay up to 3,000 eggs per day during the two years of her life. The worker bees are comprised of the sexually undeveloped female bees.

Another important function of the bee is the pollination of the blossoms and flowers. As they search for nectar, they transfer pollen from one flower to the next. Without bees there would not be any argricultural crops, fruit and so forth.

The (Natural) Honey Factory

Honey is primarily composed of fructose, glucose and water. It also contains other sugars as well trace enzymes, minerals, vitamins and amino acids.

Honey is "manufactured" in one of the world's most efficient factories, the beehive. Bees may travel as far as 55,000 miles and visit more than two million flowers to gather enough nectar to make just a pound of honey.

The color and flavor of honey differ depending on the bees' nectar source (the blossoms). We offer three varieties of honey: Clover-Alfalfa (light and mild), Cache Valley (darker with more flavor), Mountain Snowberry (mountain wildflower flavor).

How can you be more natural than being manufactured in a beehive by the bee?
