The Buzz
Hive to Home.
Small Batch Honey from Hive to Home. From the fields and woods of Central New York, specifically Baldwinsville, Phoenix and Sackets Harbor. Raw and Local. Without harsh chemicals. Taste and See......
Sustainability
Glass containers, Re-usable bottles, Beeswax recycling practices, minimizing chemical usage within our hives are all deliberate choices we have made to emphasize our priority on Sustainability. These choices help our ecosystems, our honey bees, our beekeepers, families and customers.
Environment
We’re committed to protecting our pollinators and the local environment, making sure our bees thrive in harmony with nature. By supporting us, you’re helping preserve essential ecosystems and making an impact for future generations.
Community Engagement
HoBe plays an active role in community engagement. Helping local small businesses thrive, sponsoring local running programs and events, promoting honeybee education at local libraries, supporting local nonprofits that align with our values and help individuals experience a sweeter life - we reflect the pollinator mentality as the honeybee exemplifies.
Collaboration
We love the collaborations that enhance our stories. A local salt used in our salted honey, a bourbon barrel from a local distiller for a barrel aged honey, a hot pepper honey drizzled on a local wood fired pizza, a locally roasted chocolate that infuses our honey, a perfect cheese pairing with our ginger honey...what is our next collaboration?
The Team
Worker Bees.
Bob
Head Apiculturist
It all started when Bob's oldest son asked him one day if he wanted to get into beekeeping with him, they went to a couple meetings and from there, he found his niche. It took off. Bob is a nature-loving and adventure-seeking enthusiast. He has struggled with allergies for many years and was intrigued to find out that local raw honey could help him.
Don
Chief Swarm Catcher
Whether it is hearing a swarm or finding a swarm, Don has a sixth sense when it comes to the bees when they leave their hive and go on the move as a colony. He has seen more swarms, heard more swarms and caught more swarms. Inquisitive and retired, he enjoys his hobby.
