Buzzing With Pure Goodness from the Hive

We have a table by our front door where we will place your orders for pickup.  When placing an order online, choose "Local Pickup" at checkout, and you will receive an email with instructions on when your order will be ready.   We will then place your order by our front door with your name on it; you can then stop by anytime to pick up the order.

Most orders are ready within 1 hour; however, you will receive an email when it is ready.  Note that on Farmers Market Days, we may not be able to process orders right away.

For more info, please email or give us a call at (847) 304-0830.

Thank you for your support, and please be healthy!

We have summer, Fall, and Goldenrod Honey!

Fall honey is typically a bit darker than our summer honey. The flavor of the honey is mainly determined by the flowers the bees visit and how the beekeeper tends to the hives.  We are very careful to never feed sugar water when the bees are making honey.  We also make sure the moisture of our honey is less than 18%.  High moisture can make the honey taste bad.  

Bee Pollen

We have fresh bee pollen.  Our bee pollen is FRESH, never "dried," and should be kept in the refrigerator or freezer.  You can taste the difference in fresh vs. store-bought pollen.  

 We pride ourselves on our honey (and other products) in that they are pure, natural and local!
