Pepperell

Always fascinated with Bees, I decided to try my hand at Beekeeping. I bought a local nuc and an additional Queen making a split for my first two hives; I was immediately hooked... or stung...I can't remember. I completely submerged myself, grafting a handful of Queens to expand my apiary my first year, all while still working my full-time job as a Bricklayer. I began to see the world in black and yellow!

Brookfield

Grimes Apiary — "the sweetest beesiness in Brookfield" — grew from a single hive Donald Grimes bought in 1981 after bee school into a three-generation family business serving central Massachusetts. The honey is 100% pure, native, raw, and unpasteurized, from hive to bottle to you, alongside creamed honey, bee pollen, honey-filled candy, hand creams, lip balm, and beeswax blocks.

Brookfield

What began as Donald Grimes' 1981 hobby hive — bought from legendary Ware beekeeper Frank Lagrant after bee school — is now a three-generation Brookfield apiary whose first harvest of six meager pounds convinced Donald that real raw honey tastes nothing like the store-bought kind. Today the family sells pure wildflower honey, creamed honey, honeybee pollen, honey candy, hand creams, and beeswax at retail spots, fairs, and by call-or-text order around the clock.

Franklin

Franklin Honey Company, Inc. started in the spring of 2006. Roger read an article about keeping honeybees and was immediately intrigued! Roger has always been the “outdoors type” and had a small apple orchard and both vegetable and flower gardens throughout the yard. The idea of being able to pollinate these with his very own bees was exciting. He began by taking a class with the Worcester County Beekeepers Association. Lauren joined the process shortly after it began, also intrigued by the amaz

Billerica

The B Farm — Merrimack Valley Apiaries in Billerica — pioneered selling honey bee nucs to beginners and commercial beekeepers alike, and in 1988 shipped the first load of east coast bees ever sent to California for almond pollination. Today the operation runs thousands of hives, breeds varroa-resistant Pol-Line Plus VSH queens sifted from 20,000+ Louisiana colonies with the USDA lab, and sells nucs, queens, and bulk honey at pickup locations from Massachusetts to Louisiana.

Billerica

Merrimack Valley Apiaries' B Farm in Billerica is a commercial beekeeping operation of rare scale: it trucked the first east coast bees ever shipped to California almonds in 1988 and now supports 12,000–15,000 hives in annual pollination. Backyard beekeepers come for spring nucs (an approach the farm pioneered as an alternative to packages), varroa-resistant VSH queens developed with the USDA's Baton Rouge lab, and warehouse taste-tests of raw honeys from cranberry to wildflower.

Billerica

Run by brothers Glenn and Wesley Card, Crystal's Honey in Billerica bottles single-flower raw honeys that taste of the places their bees work: wild blueberry fields in Downeast Maine, Cape Cod cranberry bogs, Florida orange groves, and North Dakota clover. Nothing is heated, blended, or filtered — pollen, propolis, and wax intact — with comb honey and bulk pails for mead makers alongside the jars.

Billerica

Crystal's Honey brings raw, single-flower, state-specific honey from third-generation beekeepers Glenn and Wesley Card — a family business sparked by one hive their grandparents bought from the Sears and Roebuck catalog. The bees pollinate blueberries in Maine and New Jersey, cranberries on Cape Cod, oranges in Florida, and clover in North Dakota, and every jar is extracted and bottled without heat or filtration so pollen and propolis stay intact.
