Sarasota Honey Company

After Hurricane Ian, we opted to freeze our wholesale accounts and ration honey sold.

We decided to do this to maintain quality and avoid liability from purchasing out-of-state honey, as many Florida honey operations did. The income lost from this decision would have gone to new boxes and equipment. Well, we pushed the woodware as far as possible, and now it is time to get new boxes and equipment for the bees.

As Alma would say, "If we take care of the bees, they will take care of us."

The new equipment is a significant investment. Each hive set-up will cost $250, which doesn't include labor costs. To offset the costs, we decided to take the advice of one of our regular customers and offer a hive sponsorship program!
