About The Hive Mind
Bee Products Done Simply
Skin Care

We make all of our own lotions, salves and lip balms from locally harvested beeswax. Beeswax is a natural bi-product of decapping honey comb in the extraction process. There's no complicated chemistry or crazy additives, just pure clean ingredients.

Raw Honey

Honey straight from our hives to your tables.

Community

Bringing our local beekeeping community together.
