Bee Local

Bee Local is micro-batch honey produced in urban neighborhood varieties. Like wine, honey from each neighborhood has its own taste profile. Bee Local is dedicated to producing healthy, pollen rich honey using sustainable techniques and educating the public via apiculture. By placing hives in varied locations we are increasing the productivity of our cities gardens, increasing awareness of the importance of the honeybee, our relationship to the land around us, and utilizing previously unused urban spaces for food production. This process begins a conversation about sustainability. Bee Local is actively involved in regional apiculture; participating as a mentor in the Master Beekeepers Program, a founding member of the Portland Urban Beekeepers group and hosts an Urban Beekeeping Class.
