About Us

We began beekeeping in 2008 with one hive in our backyard.

Like many new beekeepers, our colony did not survive its first winter, but we had definitely “caught the buzz” and were determined to give it another try.

After much reading, great mentoring, and lots of experiential learning, we now manage a growing 200-hive beekeeping operation as a family business where everyone chips in.
