Our Honey bees are - small cell, organically managed mix of European genetics - Italian, Russian, German and Carniolan. These are NOT a pure strain, which is a good thing for diversity and overall health. They are as close to catching your own wild swarms as you can get.
Package bees have SOLD OUT for 2022
Honey
Raw, never heated, microfilterd or dehydrated. No chemical treatments or sugar feeding- ever! Far from big Ag pesticides, a rich biodiversity of forage for our local bees, managed in a cruelty free way.
We sell our honey by the pound and we have less than 100 jars available at this time. Please call / text or email to order.

Honey bees are such complex and fascinating creatures that one could spend a lifetime studying them and still not learn all there is to know about them. What do you think - did honey bees come into to existence by accident or were they put on earth for a purpose? Does it even matter? If you like science and enjoy gathering evidence to reach conclusions you may enjoy the 2 publications below. Just click on the picture to access and download from the publishers web site.
