Buying local honey means supporting local

Bees are critical to our way of life. They pollinate crops for our animals to eat, our gardens, our trees and our flowers.

When you buy local honey, you’re supporting local bee keepers as they nurture hives of pollinators!

Think of honey as rent. We don’t make much money off our honey, it’s often just enough to keep our hives alive through winter.

Help our bees make rent.

Fund a hive in exchange for a jar of honey - or simply donate!

Does harvesting honey weaken a colony?

When harvested ethically and sustainably, harvesting honey can strengthen a hive.

It’s important to know where your honey is coming from. By knowing your beekeeper, you can rest easy knowing your honey was sustainably harvested.

They’re our ba-bees. We want them to continue to thrive.

Communi-bee Honey

It takes a village. Our honey has been harvested from several local hives.

We’ve mixed the honey together to create a honey that represents our community. It’s diverse and delicious!

By mixing the honey from different hives, we’re able to reduce costs while still supporting local beekeepers.

Interested in helping local bees?

Plant native flowers!

Bees travel up to two miles from their hive looking for pollen. You can help by planting native flowers!

Milkweed, Butterfly Weed, Larkspur, Passion Flower, Great Blue Lobelia, Coneflower, Bee Balm, Flox, Royal Catchly - to name a few.

Creating a pollinator garden can bring joy AND nourishment - for your soul and the bees. The Berea Urban Farm can help you create a plan for pollinators!
