About Us

Who We Are

Hi, I am Drew Bradshaw here at the apiary, grandpa got me started tending the bees at 5 years old and I have been in love and working with them ever since and I love being able to share that experience.

I’ve been backyard farming since I was a child on a small hobby farm, in 2018 we had a really good harvest and started selling honey at my favorite coffee shop the Mad Bean in Madison NC.

We know the importance of our honey bees and pollinators and we want to bring them to you to be able to share our knowledge and passion for keeping bees.

WE LOVE BEES AND SO SHOULD YOU.
