We have 13 hives on 100 acres of unfarmed land populated by native flora. Our bees have weathered the 2022 winter with a 100% survival rate and provided us with 175+ pounds of organic honey harvested in the 2023 season.

Three years ago we established an Organic Apiary operation locally, starting with 3 non-native honeybee hives, and expanding to 13 hives, so as to fully understand their behaviors and impact on our local native bee populations. We are now creating native bee inventories at 4 separate locations, and once the inventory is complete, we will then be able to develop a plan to protect and increase the native bee numbers, which appear to be in some distress.
