What started out as a small hobby has turned into management of 5-10 honey beehives, depending on the season. We believe pollination has a significant affect on our food system and we want to contribute at least a small part to maintaining our pollinator population. We initially were focused on the pollinator aspect but have come to find significant benefits to us humans in the honey they produce.

One of the main benefits is helping manage allergies. The bees gather pollen from flowers within a mile or so of their hive. The resulting flavor and contents resemble that of the area. When someone eats local honey it is possible they may, in time, become less sensitive to the pollen in the neighborhood. Raw honey is also higher in antioxidant properties, as the enzymes are not destroyed in the pasteurization process required of processed honey.
