Description

Not all honey comes from tidy boxes on a beekeeper’s farm.

This wild honey is harvested from colonies of feral honeybees—bees who have made their homes in the wild: in walls, trees, barns, floorboards, and forgotten corners of our world. When these bees are found in places where they pose a danger to people or animals, I’m called in to rescue—not exterminate—the colony.

What little honey can be collected from these rescues is special.
It’s:

  • 🍯 Rich in pollen and other natural hive compounds

  • 🌸 Bursting with seasonal flavor and local bloom character

  • 🐝 Only lightly strained—never filtered or heated

  • ♻️ Responsibly harvested—about 80% stays with the bees for their survival

This is the kind of honey that’s sought out during allergy season and loved by people who want real, raw nutrition straight from nature. Every spoonful tells the story of a wild hive, a rescue mission, and a second chance.


Here’s what makes this honey different:

  • 🍯 Crushed from the comb by hand

  • 🌿 Gravity-strained with no filtering, heating, or processing

  • 🕰️ Bottled the same day it’s harvested for peak freshness

  • 💛 Rich in pollen and the full spectrum of hive goodness

  • 🐝 Wild-foraged flavor that changes with the seasons and the flowers


🌿 Why It Matters:

  • 🐝 Supports live honeybee rescues, not extermination

  • 💛 Helps fund ethical relocation and care of wild colonies

  • 🧭 Harvested with care—only the excess is taken

  • 🌎 Sustainably packaged and naturally processed

  • 🍃 Nothing added. Nothing taken away that the bees didn’t spare.

This isn’t factory honey.
This is the kind of honey the bees made for themselves.
You just happen to get a taste.

How It’s Harvested

This honey doesn’t come from a factory or farmed bees. It comes from wild honeybee colonies that I rescue by hand—often from walls, barns, trees, and other tricky spots where bees have taken up residence.

Once the colony is safely relocated, I carefully recover any excess honey left behind. Here's how it's harvested:

  • 🧺 The honeycomb is crushed by hand—no machines, no heat

  • 🌀 It’s then gravity-strained, meaning only the liquid honey flows through—pollen and all

  • 🫙 Finally, it’s bottled the very same day, keeping it as fresh, raw, and close to the hive as possible

This small-batch process keeps all the good stuff in: enzymes, pollen, wax traces, and seasonal flavor.

You’re not just tasting honey.
You’re tasting a moment from a wild hive—rescued, respected, and shared.

Bee Rescue Mission

Honey is only part of the story.

Every jar of wild honey you buy supports my work as a professional honeybee rescuer. When wild colonies build homes in walls, sheds, barns, or floors, I’m called in—not to exterminate, but to safely remove and relocate them.

It’s delicate, labor-intensive work that blends construction experience with deep bee knowledge. Each rescue gives the bees a second chance at life—and gives me a small harvest of wax and honey to help fund the mission.

  • 🛠️ Over 25 years in fine construction

  • 🐝 Master Beekeeper (Cornell)

  • 📍 Serving Central New York

  • 🚫 No spraying. No killing. Just skilled, ethical removals.

Saving the bees isn’t a hobby—it’s my passion, my calling, and my full-time work.
Thank you for being a part of it with every jar.
