It all started with a few hobby hives on a roof in Queens, NYC.
The business quickly grew and now we manage more than 50 hives across the Big Apple. Our passion is beekeeping and we focus on the same quality care for each colony as we did when we only had 2 hives on the roof.

Queens
I was so pumped to see local honey made by local Bee’s. I’m from Astoria Queens and I’m so proud of Our Bee’s. This honey is light and the right amount of sweet I’ve used it in Tea. Made a homemade glaze for chicken, it’s perfect on biscuits too. #Queens
