Local Honey Made in Hernando County, Florida

Looking for honey that's actually local? Our hives sit right here in Hernando County, and the honey in every jar comes from bees foraging within a few miles of Spring Hill and Brooksville.

Why buy local honey

• You know where it came from. A lot of "Florida" honey on store shelves is blended. Ours goes from our hives to the jar.
• It tastes like home. Local blackberry, wild grape, saw palmetto, oak and sand pine give our honey its flavor.
• It's raw. Never heated or fine-filtered.
• It keeps bees in the county. We rescue and relocate honey bee colonies instead of exterminating them.

Bees in your wall or tree?

We're also the beekeepers people call when a swarm lands on their mailbox. See bee removal in Hernando County: swarms are $100 and the bees come home with us.

Questions we get a lot

Is your honey raw?

Yes. We extract it, strain out the wax and bee bits, and jar it. It is never heated or fine-filtered, so the pollen and enzymes stay in.

Where can I buy your honey in person?

At our self-serve honey stand at 5276 Barclay Ave in Hernando County. Local pickup of online orders is free; just ask in the contact form.

Do you ship?

Yes, anywhere in the US by USPS. Shipping is $9.95 for the first item and $3 for each extra item.

Does local honey help with allergies?

Many of our customers buy it for Florida's spring allergy season. The science is mixed, so think of it as a tasty bonus rather than a treatment, and ask your doctor about allergies.

Is honey safe for babies?

No. Do not give any honey, raw or not, to children under 1 year old.
