Our Story: How we started
At the age of 13, I saw potential in every opportunity. When I heard about a youth scholarship program teaching beekeeping, I knew I had to be a part of it. Surprisingly, I developed a deep passion for beekeeping and the rest is history.
What makes our product unique
We take pride in being one of the few companies that handle every step of the process, from production to packaging and selling. From the hive to the bottle, we ensure the highest quality and ethical treatment of our bees. Each jar of honey we sell is held to the highest standards.
Why we love what we do
Bees are truly fascinating creatures. Not only do they provide us with natural and wholesome food, but every day is an opportunity to witness their tireless work. By handling everything from bee to bottle and leaving our honey raw, the taste speaks for itself.
Product Description
Importance of Origin
Did you know that 75% of honey in the United States is imported and honey is one of the most misrepresented food products? That's why we are committed to producing our own honey with our own honeybees. The quality, taste, and transparency make it worth the extra effort. We also ensure our bees are treated humanely and are able to eat their own honey.
Caring for People
What started as a high school hobby has become a business centered around people and their stories. We are passionate about what we do and take great care of our customers, honeybees, and employees. We hope you take the time to get to know us and our story.
Quality Food
We prioritize the well-being of our honeybees, ensuring they are cared for and exposed to the best conditions. Our honey is always raw, unfiltered, and completely natural with no additives, fillers, or syrups. We know it tastes amazing because we produce it ourselves.

From Kid to Beekeeper: Our Journey
Growing up in rural Texas during the early 2000s, I explored various business endeavors, but nothing seemed to fit perfectly. Then, in 2002 at 12 years old, I won a beekeeping scholarship that changed everything. I fell in love with beekeeping and built my first structure using lumber from trees on my parents' land. Despite its basic amenities, it was a perfect starting point. Selling my honey to a local health food store called "Mikes" made me believe I had made it big.
As orders increased, I expanded my beekeeping operation and personally delivered each case of honey in my grandfather's truck, working tirelessly day and night. During my senior year, I faced a decision: attend college or pursue beekeeping full-time. I was honored to become the president of the Texas Beekeepers Association and a director for the American Beekeeping Federation.
Little did I know, I had already met my future wife two years prior. By graduation, I was convinced that she was the one I had to marry. At 20, I married Kathleen, and our honeymoon was the longest time I had been away from bees since I was 12.
Since then, our company has flourished, with thousands of beehives under our care. However, we treat each jar and beehive as if it were our first. I also have the privilege of serving on the National Honey Board and the American Beekeeping Federation to promote honey and beekeeping. Beekeeping has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and even as we grow, we remain dedicated beekeepers first and foremost.
