Raw Unprocessed Honey
In a good year, we will harvest honey mid to end summer, but always forgo the fall harvest for the bees winter storage. We try to never find ourselves in the situation where we have to feed the bees sugar for winter. We always default to letting the bees have more honey then they probably need to survive winter. That said, we usually always have some to harvest once the spring hits.
-
Bees Wax for Crafting
If your looking for a source for fresh and local wax for your crafting needs, reach out. We tend to have available wax that we sell for such occasion. Soap making, candle making, lip balms, etc, we can help!
-
We have slowly grown over the years and hope to continue expanding as the years go on. Please pay attention to our social media, as all honey availability will be posted there. Pricing determined at harvest.

Meet Nathan, Owner and Operator
Ever since age 3, Nathan has been fascinated by honey bees. It was a pretty common occurrence to have to stop when passing a local roadside apiary just so he could excitedly watch the bees swarm around the hive entrances. By time he was age 7 the requests for his own bees began. While still stopping at roadside apiaries to watch the bees at this time, the discussions quickly began changing from "wow" to "how?"
We got Nathan his first hives in 2016 and he is constantly learning how to take care of his bees. We were very lucky and extremely grateful to have a mentor come to our farm every week to help Nathan learn his very first year. He learned so much to help him carry his own in the years that followed.
Since then, he has expanded his apiary buying new hives with the money he has made from the honey he has sold, and catching wild swarms. Every year presents new challenges to his growth, but his perseverance is quite commendable, and his efforts quite rewarding.
In the years to come we expect this to grow into quite the apiary, and are excited to see Nathans efforts and determination become quite the honey pot.
First know, a swarm of honey bees hanging in a cluster will not hurt you. Swarms are not aggressive at all when undisturbed. Swarms can occur almost anywhere and may stay on site momentarily, or for up to a few days. Swarms occur more frequently in Spring (April-June) and less frequently during the Summer and Fall.
If you find yourself concerned, please don't spray them with pesticides or call an exterminator service! This will only kill the bees! Contact us and we will be glad to remove the bees and relocate them to our Apiary so long as the conditions for removal is safe. We would do this absolutely free of charge.
Please note, we only remove honeybee swarms, and do not offer established hive removal from buildings or homes.
