Aiyana Bees and Honey

Locally produced pure organic raw honey, wax, honeycombs, queen bees, and dipping hives in paraffin wax.

Owners David Vierig and his son, Mark, proudly say that they are a veteran-owned and operated family business, as David served in the U.S. Army and Mark served in the U.S. Marine Corps. They add: “When we say it’s a family run business, that’s not a punchline. Grandpa, grandma, uncles, sons, daughters, and wives all pitch in.”

‘Aiyana’ is a Native American word (some believe Cherokee) that means ‘forever flowering,’ ‘eternal blossom,’ ‘eternal flower,’ and similar phrases.
