Specialty Crop

Locally produced mild, light honey from wild sweet clover and alfalfa (the honey has a low moisture content, about 13–14%, which adds to the flavor); pure bees wax; offers large containers for retail and wholesale clients; has a queen breeding program; and provides community outreach, teaching students and others about bees, pollination, beekeeping, and honey.

Every year, brothers Brady and Brandon Bryant work with classrooms all over the state, to educate kids about the importance of honeybees and other pollinators in our world. According to Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service, production of about one third of the human diet requires insect pollination, and honeybees perform the majority of pollination for cultivated crops. Students are also taught how honey is made, where it comes from, and how it is extracted and packaged. Students get to tour the Bryant Honey processing facility (see listing above).
