A Bee Friendly Company

Locally produced honey, creamed honey, powdered honey, and raw pollen; in addition, the company sells honeybees and bee equipment, and offers an educational program for people interested in developing a commercial apiary, no matter how big or small. “We normally start with 50 hives, and we’ve had clients work up to 1,000 to 2,000 hives,” says Michael Jordan, who co-owns A Bee Friendly with his family.

Jordan talks passionately about his love for beekeeping and helping others to get a start, whether hobby or commercial, and he also stresses the importance of bees and pollination and why it’s important to take steps to ensure bees stay healthy and have sound habitat.

raw honey is sold on tap at The Hawthorn Tree in Cheyenne, which also uses honey from the company in its teas and mixed drinks; honey is also available directly from A Bee Honey (contact by phone or email to get on the mailing list).
