Welcome to our apiary-a life that is all about bees.

Here at Carey Apiary, we strive to keep healthy bees and offer an all natural local, raw honey. We have spent years rehabilitating the land and incorporating pollinator-friendly plants on our property in Southern Delaware. With a certification of Master Beekeeper through University of Florida, I am confident in teaching and mentoring aspiring beekeepers. Our farm offers a friendly atmosphere, great produce, raw honey, and other bee products. Contact us to experience a day in a beekeeper’s life. We offer tours to showcase what we are growing this season as well as an opportunity to suit up and meet the bees. We can host groups for educational opportunities or individuals wanting to immerse themselves in a hive.

Honey

We offer raw honey in 1 lb jars. We only offer honey for sale once we know the bees have enough of their own. Our honey will change color as the season progresses and the floral sources change. Spring honey is lighter in color, and fall honey will make for our darkest batch. Comb Honey may be available depending on the bees’ productivity. We also make all-natural hand salve from bees wax, olive oil, shea butter, and mint extract. Please call to place an order.
