About Us
Full-Service Beekeeping
Beekeeping is our passion. We are here to answer your questions and help you grow your apiary. From one hive to one hundred, we can support your growth.
Our Farms
We stage our bees at several locations. One is at our pollinator friendly habitat in Illinois and the other around our family’s certified organic farmland in Wisconsin. We also plant many acres of clover and wildflower on surrounding lands.
Honey
Our honey consists of clover and wildflower in the spring with hints of goldenrod in the fall. It is harvested only when the bees have produced enough for their own stores. It is never heated, filtered, or pasteurized.
Our Story
He met his life partner and fellow beekeeper through a mutual friend who connected them over the installation of some hives on her pollinator friendly farmstead. Brad fell in love with both the girl and the farm. Today, they are partners in raising bees, babies and acres of farmland.
