My wildflower honey has turned yellow and there's white foam. What happened?Updated 2 months ago

Our wildflower honey will start out as light golden liquid in the beehive. Then it crystallizes within weeks of extraction. We then churn and bottle the honey - without using heat - into jars. During this process, air bubble will get trapped inside. When the weather is warmer, honey will become softer and the bubbles rise to the top, creating a layer of white foam. This foam is mostly air, beeswax and pollen separating from the honey. Honey is still the same honey, so you don't have to worry about it. You can give it a good stir and the white foam will disappear. Because our honey is raw, this is more pronounced.

Honey also turns more yellow as time passes. This is also a normal process, and there's nothing to worry about.
