Local Honey from your neighborhood I was in the restaurant business for 32 years, the last 22 as a General Manager. I love gardening and spent a lot of time in my garden. In 2017, I got a beehive in my garden to help increase the number of bees throughout my yard. I was managing a restaurant in San Jose when covid hit and my restaurant shut down. As the Universe would have it, honeybee swarm season starts every year in March. For some reason I had taken a swarm collecting class about a month earlier. I put a message on Nextdoor.com asking my neighbors if anyone would like a beehive in their backyard. I had over 200 families reply with a resounding, "US PLEASE"!! I call my families "Hive Hosts". Within 30 days, I had gone from my original 3 hives as a hobby to 30 hives into a potential business. 8 years later, I am still a "backyard beekeeper", with 140 hives, employee 18 people, while mentoring my team and hive hosts on the basics of beekeeping. Myself and my team spend the weekdays working bees and the weekends doing farmers markets, pop-ups and local festivals selling our local honey.
