Dedicated to raising
healthy honey bees.
We love our bees!
Our colony management practices focus on raising gentle, hygienic stock. We work with nature.
The Heart of Our Practice
Healthy Colonies
Bee health and nutrition is the cornerstone of our operation. We leave our bees plenty of stores and only harvest the true surplus.
Virginia Raw Honey
100% raw honey from our Virginia apiaries. Unfiltered, unprocessed, never heated, and bursting with a unique wildflower flavor.
Working With Nature
Our management practices focus on raising gentle honey bees that work with nature, not against it. We believe in sustainable stewardship.
OUR STORY
A passion for these fascinating creatures.
Honey bees are intriguing little creatures to observe. When you open up a healthy hive, and you observe their behaviors —waggle dances, pollen baskets coming in, trophallaxis, a queen sticking her butt in a cell, you cannot help captivation.
My name is Jenn Sword. I’ve been beekeeping since 2009. My passion is to educate, and help solve some of the many problems we have in the beekeeping industry.
