Catch the Buzz... about our Bees!If Twenty hives isn't enough to fulfill the desire for our honey. Five hives are located in Dover and the remainder are at our home in Lee. We run a sustainable IPM apiary, We try to breed queens to develop hives rather than purchase hives. When we are pleased with the genetic work of a queen, we make sure we keep her genes around. Bees travel a radius of two miles picking up pollen and nectar from all around.

Raw & Local HoneyOur bees work very hard to produce a delicious honey suitable for not only the taste buds but also allergies. A teaspoon a day can do wonders especially for people who are highly allergic to many of the flowers bees might pollinate. We keep all of our honey separate including dates of when the honey was pulled off the hive (Spring vs Fall) and we also keep the honey separate according to what hives the it was taken off of (Dover vs Lee). This allows us to help customers who are interested in the honey for allergy purposes.
Did I mention... Not only is our honey sweet... but it is RAW & LOCAL too! |
Wax Products
Over a period of three years, we have researched and developed many ways to use the wax from our bees. The wax goes through a three to eight time filtration process to cleanse the wax. We have purchased antique molds for candles and developed the perfect consistency for our balms.
Some of the items created include:

All wax products consist of our own 100% pure beeswax
