Honey
Discover our flavorful and raw seasonal local honey harvested and bottled by hand. We harvest honey by seasonal nectar flows.
By tasting honey from each season, you can experience the subtle shifts in flavor, color, and aroma, reflecting the biodiversity and rhythms of New England’s environment:
​
-
Spring honey: Light and floral, featuring the delicate sweetness of early wildflowers like dandelions, maples, honeysuckle, black locust, and Russian olives.
-
Summer honey: Rich and golden, with the robust fruity flavors of clovers, basswood, berries, pepperbush, and wild herbs.
-
Fall honey: Darker and more complex, showcasing the deep, earthy notes of goldenrod knotweed, and asters.
Live Bees
Discover the fascinating world of beekeeping and become a beekeeper yourself. Our quality workers and queen bees can help you start a colony by yourself!
These nucleus colonies are 4 weeks ahead of any package. The colonies come with an established queen and workers. This difference can be the deciding factor for survival for new beekeepers. Having an established queen also reduces common queen acceptance issues that come with packages. Our nucs give you a head start when trying to grow your hive.
​
We provide local overwintered nucs and spring nucs. All bees and queens are locally raised and kept here in our apiaries RI and Mass. We don't move our bees for pollination service at all.
