Our Natural, Pure, Local, Raw Honey

Our natural, pure, local, raw honeys are made by our very own honey bees living in various locations within Mercer, Somerset and Hunterdon counties of Central New Jersey.

Our local raw honey from NJ is always labeled with its location of origin (e.g. Princeton) and is lightly filtered and never processed (i.e. heated) so that it may retain its wholesome properties as the bees produced it. See our Local Raw Honey web page for more information.

Our Varietal Honeys

Our varietal honey offerings come from other beekeepers in New Jersey and elsewhere within the USA.  These honeys are made by bees who visit specific plants (e.g. blueberry and cranberry fields in NJ, Tupelo in Florida, Eucalyptus in California), and whose qualities of taste and texture we find interesting and notable.   See our Varietal Honey web page for more information.


Bamboo Hollow beeswax soap

Beeswax Soaps, Lip Balms, Candles, etc.

We also make and sell beeswax and honey based products such as mild and aromatic soaps, lip balms, honey filled candies, etc. See our Soaps & More web page for more information.
