2022 and 2023 was a bad couple years for our bees. Between lack of rain on the Chicago North side, a complete loss of all our colonies, and a bad bout of covid, it was a rough season.
2024 is shaping up to be much better as the early and consistent rains (despite being 1" below normal STILL) has allowed for a strong nectar flow.
Be on the look out for 2024 Honey to be available!
As hobbyist beekeepers, our hives produce more honey than we can personally consume. We wish to share with you our limited and precious excess. Please check out our availability on purchasing options. Chicago area buyers only. We do not ship at this time. Contactless pickup can be arranged in the Irving Park neighborhood. Due to current health situation, we are not offering drop offs. Pickups are also not being offered downtown.
Handmade Soap, made with honey and beeswax from our hives! Please visit Nature's Trace Co. to see a wide variety of cold process soaps, inspired by our honeybees and garden.
