Honey Bee Trail: Where the trail begins

Honey bees are so much more than a honey producer

Honey Bee Trail sprung into spring! How it all began.

I was introduced to beekeeping as a teen.  My father was a backyard enthusiast or at least in the beginning. Early on he studied and realized the many health benefits honey bees provide such as helping him with his arthritis, reducing allergies, benefits from pollen, and so much more that is being researched today.  After three decades of pursuing his passion with beekeeping, he passed in April 2022.  Both of my brothers looked at me and said; “you're it!”.  I recalled decades earlier how I would help him in the bee yard as he would hand me the smoker while working the hives inspecting the queen and honey bee workers.  I was only dressed in a tee-shirt and shorts and I didn't fear being near bees, I was eagerly fascinated with those little insects.  

There’s something about the ability to work with honey bees and transform the honey, wax, and pollen into something tangible, meaningful and most importantly, beneficial. I discovered endless possibilities emerge when creativity meets the bee yard and the first time you open the lid off of your hive.   I immediately exhale, relaxing my body and I can be in the moment focusing only on what’s in front of me.

Now, I want to share this experience with others. It is more than a business; it's a community where people can disconnect from the daily grind, connect with their nature, and enjoy the benefits of raw small-batch honey, pollen, skin products, and many other bee derived products. 

An exciting moment for any beekeeper is coming across their Queen.

“ To make a prairie, it takes a clover and one bee - one clover, and a bee, and reverie.  The reverie will do, if bees are few.”

What we offer:

• Raw Honey- Throughout Chester and Montgomery County PA, our Apiaries are situated along the Brandywine river and in fields of protected reserves providing boundless resources to bring soft floral notes in the spring, and sweet amber fall honey.

• Lotions and creams: Why do we use lotions and creams? Primarily to moisturize our skin and beeswax is the number one ingredient that locks moisture in our skin.  All of our hand and face lotions are infused with propolis, essential oils, and vitamins to support your skin.

• Beeswax products: Enjoy the benefits of beeswax candles, when it burns, they don't contain any toxic chemicals. Beeswax produces negative ions which bind with air pollutants (negative ions), leaving cleaner air.
