Protecting Our Local Bees and Their Environment
Find answers to your most common questions about our honey, bee services, and sustainability efforts.
What makes your raw honey different from store-bought varieties?
We specialize in raw honey, unfiltered, and harvested locally from wildflower blossoms by our Italian/Carniolan honeybees, preserving its natural enzymes and flavors. Our bees forage within the Canandaigua city limits and up to 2-3 miles from their hives. Depending upon what our honeybees are foraging on, honey may be lighter or darker in color and the flavor may vary. Generally, the darker the honey, the more robust the flavor. Spring and summer honeys are usually lighter in color and taste, while fall honey is more likely to be darker and more piquant.
Do you offer honeybee swarm removal services?
Yes, we provide free, humane swarm removal to safely relocate bees back to a healthy environment. Contact us via email at info[at]homebroodhoney.com or via the Contact Form to speak with us about swarm removal. Please include all pertinent details and contact information in your initial message.

Why is supporting honeybee populations important?
Honeybees play a critical role in pollination of both cultivated and wild plant varieties, supporting and protecting local ecosystems and agriculture, which is why we focus on their protection. Humankind could not survive without honeybees and other pollinators.
