We love bees.  And honey.

In that order.

About

Our Comb Honey

Comb honey is so impressive, and absolutely beautiful to look at! It is the most raw form of honey, and the manner in which honey was consumed prior to the invention of the extractor.  Honestly, if you have never tried it, well, you are missing out!

The Beekeepers

We have been environmentalists for as long as we can remember.  We ensured that we were role models for our children, demonstrating that each person had an obligation to protect our natural resources...

Our Honey

ONLY PURE, RAW UNFILTERED HONEY!

We often get asked how we can offer and know the varietal of honey.  As a beekeeper, it is important to know the honey-producing trees and plants that are available within a three mile radius of your apiary...

Bee Rescue

If you see a swarm of bees, don't be alarmed and please don't get out a can of bug spray!  Call us, and if honey bees, we can rescue the bees and if not, help you determine what's going on.  

Our Bee Yards

Where you locate your bee colonies ultimately impacts the taste and quality of the honey you harvest each year, as well as the health and well-being of your colonies.  We have taken care to select prime locations in the placement of our colonies.
