Gather Ye Honey

We started with two hives in our backyard and have grown to keeping over 60 hives in four bee yards – three in the Piedmont of North Carolina and one in the Appalachian Mountains in Virginia. Having bees in both Charlotte, NC and Ceres, VA leads to spectacularly diverse honey harvests. We keep all of our honey harvests separated by harvest date, location, and sometimes even supers (the part of the hive used for honey storage) if it’s obvious the honey is unique. This means that we typically have a few different honeys on hand. While we don’t send any of our honey to a lab for pollen analysis (which is required to claim a mono-floral honey, such as sourwood, clover, etc.) we enjoy teaching people about the incredible variety of wildflower honey based on what’s blooming in each location during each season. If you’re looking for local Charlotte honey or Appalachian Mountain honey, we’ve got you covered.

We have great respect for our bee colonies and the honey they produce. We don’t use
