Wax products and seasonal varieties of honey are available for sale at our self-service farm stand during warm weather months.

Buzz Off, Honey
We offer free swarm removal for Hudson Ohio and surrounding areas (330.422.3939).
The dandelion explosion this week is the official start of swarm season - so keep your eyes peeled and buzz us if you spot one.
We've put a little FAQ together for what is a swarm / what to do if you see one: www.buzzoff.biz/swarm-removal/
Buzz Off, Honey
Happy almost-spring everyone. We're still sold out of 2025 honey and expect the first 2026 harvest to be in late May or early June.
Reminder that peak swarm season is May, but they can start as early as late April, so call your favorite beekeeper if you see one in the wild. (If we happen to be your favorite, our number is 330.422.3939)
If you would like to host a swarm trap this year, please reach out. Swarm traps are small boxes designed to be attractive to swarms (size, location, etc.), hung about six feet off the ground. We typically hang them in late April and remove them in June.
For now, we'll be busy stripping old woodenware down, cleaning it, and prepping it to go back in circulation.
