Family Farms

Family Farms

Family is everything in beekeeping. The beehive is a family in itself.

Each honeybee has a special role to play in the hive, and without it’s hard work the hive begins to collapse.

With this in mind, our local Minnesota family business works with family farms providing top quality pollination for their Minnesota grown fruits and vegetables.

Our hives are placed on local chemical free farms, which provide pristine conditions for our bees to forage and produce your Minnesota honey.

You can find our single source honey, and us, at many local farmers markets throughout the summer.

Or, find our 100% honey spreads at local foods groceries throughout the year.

Our Commitment to Local Honeybees

Our Commitment to Local Honeybees

Our commitment to local food, local farms and local Minnesota honey producers goes far beyond our own hives.

We work with local beekeepers to breed locally adapted honeybees.

The University of Minnesota’s Marla Spivak created a line of “hygenic” honeybees that are more resistant to the diseases and pests that challenge todays honeybee.

 


 

We are continuing our efforts to breed bees that are adapted to producing Minnesota honey and surviving Minnesota winters.

You can learn more and help by supporting the U of M's Bee Squad Bee Network.
