Frequently Asked Questions

Creamed honey is 100% pure, select, raw honey that has granulated, and then whipped or folded to produce a soft, smooth, and creamy texture.

We do not add anything to our creamed honey, and nothing is removed. The finest grades of honey are used in the creaming process, which produces the smooth, creamy texture.

Yes!  Customers may bring in containers any day that we are open, and you do not need to make an appointment. Containers must be clean, dry, and sealable, and they must not exceed 5 gallons in capacity for safe handling.  There may be a wait depending on the quantity you are purchasing.

Except for our flavored honey, all of our honey products are raw, natural, and unfiltered.  Our honey is warmed — not pasteurized — to a temperature that allows it to pass through a particle strainer, but not a filter.  Pollen particles are not removed from the honey in this process.

No, it is not pasteurized. Prior to bottling, our liquid honey is gently warmed to 140 degrees to give it fluid consistency and allow it to pass through a strainer.

Flavored honey is creamed honey with flavoring and color added. Try our flavored honey here.

Yes, it does. Most varieties of pure, raw honey will crystallize after a period.  However, we warm our honey before selling it in our gift shop or online to delay this natural process for a couple months.

We do! We often carry pre-made gift baskets in our store. You can also create custom gifts baskets with items you choose.

We’ve seen a lot of changes and challenges in the world of bees over the last century. As land use changes, advances in agriculture, rural development, and consumer demand continue to reshape the world for bees and beekeepers, Browning’s Honey has invested in research, innovation, and technology to tip the scales back in the bees’ favor. With a strong commitment to cutting edge research, stewardship, and next-generation habitat, Browning’s Honey Co. has become an industry leader in the effort to save this vital industry.

You can help the bees, too!  Support your local beekeeper by buying local honey.  You can also plant a pollinator garden or even just reduce mowing and spraying plants that bloom in your yard or property.  Dandelions get a bad rap, but they are a wonderful flower for bees.  Also, be careful with pesticides, especially on or around blooming plants, trees and shrubs.

Our bees are kept primarily on private property, including ranches, farms, and other land in Eastern Idaho and Eastern North Dakota.

Locally produced honey will likely contain minute amounts of pollen from the plants and trees commonly occurring in the area.

The most common use for bee pollen is to help improve seasonal allergies, such as hay fever. It has also been shown to help regulate the immune system, promote wound healing, reduce the risk of heart disease, and help with asthma.

Beeswax can be used as a lubricant, a waterproofing agent, a polish for wood or leather, candle-making, as a component in cosmetics, for beeswax food wraps, and as an artistic medium in encaustic painting.

We do! Various sizes are available for purchase.

We do not offer tours; however, we do offer information presentations at our Idaho Falls location for church groups, families, and schools. Please call 208-523-3692 or email cyndy.browningshoney@gmail.com to schedule your presentation or for more information.

Honeycomb is a natural product made by honeybees to store honey in the hive. It consists of hexagonal cells made from beeswax which are filled with raw honey. There is a great variety of ways to enjoy comb honey. Some of the most popular ways to eat it are on toast or crackers, and it pairs well with meats and cheeses. You can also just eat it plain!
