May's Honey Farms has produced Sunny Hill Honey since 1948, growing from two beehives to more than 1,400 across six counties of northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin, with a processing plant in a converted 1898 schoolhouse outside Marengo. Harvested within 50 miles of the plant from local clovers, alfalfa, and linden blossoms, the honey is never overheated or ultra-filtered and is sold at independent grocers all over Chicagoland.

Milk & Honey Farm produces honey in Illinois. Details on hive count, flavor profile, and sales outlets aren't published online — reach out directly to ask about jars, comb, or seasonal harvest availability.

Honey Lake Bee Company works its own hives in North Barrington, harvesting raw, unfiltered honey along with comb honey, beeswax candles, and lip balm made from Midwest beeswax. There's no storefront — order online for local pickup or catch them at Chicago-area farmers markets. They also teach beginner beekeeping classes for anyone thinking about starting a hive. Everything sold traces back to their own colonies, not a blended or imported supply.
