Our philosophy
Ethically raised
North Country Bee Works is a family apiary established in 2019. The idea was simple - learn about ethical beekeeping practices, raise a few beehives, and share the best-tasting raw, natural, and local honey with friends, family and neighbors.
As it turned out, a lot of people wanted to be part of our story. Today, North Country Bee Works offers so much more than the best tasting honey you can find. We have become a national leader in handcrafted hive related products like solid beeswax lotion bars, honey & oatmeal soap, beeswax candles, and so much more.
We still maintain our focus (some say "obsession") with ethical beekeeping and regenerative practices. We avoid feeding our bees simple syrup and prefer, instead, to let them forage as they see fit. In the rare case we do feed a hive it comes out of honey production for at least 24 months.
And our commitment extends beyond our own hives. All of our raw materials are sourced either from our own hives or from partners individually selected for their commitment to sustainability, ethical beekeeping and regenerative practices.
Handcrafted. Pure. Sustainable.
At North Country Bee Works, our philosophy is rooted in a commitment to ethical beekeping, regenerative practices, and sustainably handcrafting natural hive-related products.
Each our our products is carefully made by hand and is guaranteed to meet our high standards of quality and authenticity. Our dedication to craftsmanship reflects our respect for traditional methods and our desire to provide our customers with products that are effective, sustainable, and environmentally responsible.
Ethical beekeeping and regenerative practices are at the heart of everything we do. We use only 100% natural ingredients in our products and avoid harsh and synthetic chemicals. Our beeswax, honey, and pollen is sourced from our hives, or the hives of trusted beekeepers individually selected with an eye toward their commitment to sustainability and ethical practices.
At North Country Bee Works, our products reflect our values of integrity, quality, and sustainability. Our focus on ethical beekeeping and regenerative practices guides every decision we make. We are proud of our products and our processes and invite you to join us in our mission to celebrate the beauty of nature and to live a more sustainable, mindful life.
