Bee Local is micro-batch honey produced in urban neighborhood varieties. Like wine, honey from each neighborhood has its own taste profile. Bee Local is dedicated to producing healthy, pollen rich honey using sustainable techniques and educating the public about how important honeybees are. This is not your average honey.

Why is Bee Local different?

Honeybees typically forage for nectar within a 4-mile radius. The honey they produce in each geographic location has flavors, textures and complexity that are completely unique to that location. Honey from one neighborhood tastes completely different than honey from another.

The result is small artisan micro-batch honeys that directly reflect the unique characteristics of each neighborhood. For example Bee Local currently has four varieties from four different Portland neighborhoods: Mt. Tabor, Brooklyn, Powellhurst, and Laurelhurst.
