Champlain Valley Apiaries

Champlain Valley Apiaries is a third generation business that began with the current owner's grandfather. Over the years, they have become known for their dedication to organic beekeeping practices and high-quality honey products. Their bees forage on pesticide-free hay fields fertilized only with manure, contributing to the purity and quality of their honey.

The apiary treats its bees organically, avoiding the use of sugar syrups by leaving honey on the bees for the winter. This practice ensures the bees have a natural food source during the colder months. The bees primarily forage on hay fields grown for dairy cows, which are pesticide-free and fertilized with manure, promoting a healthy and natural environment for the bees.

In addition to raw honey, the apiary offers liquid honey and wax candles. Their commitment to organic practices and the health of their bees is evident in every product they sell. The apiary's bees play a crucial role in pollinating local crops, highlighting the interconnectedness of their practices with the broader ecosystem.
