Welcome to Sun Mountain Apiary

We are excited to announce that the Sun Mountain Apiary Store will be open for the 2022 season, this Friday - 7/1/22. The bees have been working hard and we have been working with the hives, sterilizing equipment and bottles, extracting, bottling and labeling to be able to open by the first. We know many of you have been waiting patiently!
What’s new for ’22?

A 100-liter bottling tank was added to our existing tank to accommodate our higher honey production levels.
We have added 12lb jars to our honey line. These are the largest size of glass jars available. We sourced these US made jars based on popular demand and to help with the shortage of some other glassware sizes.
Like most businesses have experienced, it has been harder to source woodenware, equipment and especially glassware. We are finding it takes multiple trips to find products or to complete an order, and when you do the new prices can be a shock. Woodenware (frames, honey supers, etc.) are up 15 – 20%, glass honey jars are HARD to get and up anywhere from 15- 100%! Our 5lb glass jars literally doubled in price so we encourage you to return those for our $2 refund and stock is limited to what we previously purchased.
The good news is we are absorbing many of the costs and hoping our increased volume this year will help cover some of the increased costs so only two items saw any price increase at all in the store!
We installed new windows and screens across the entire front of our store so we can naturally ventilate when appropriate and increase our energy efficiency.
While not normally visible, we completed the remodeling of our office area beyond the honey store.
We will be offering “In-hive Tours” this summer and early fall for those that want to see where the honey comes from. Protective equipment will be provided and will provide you a fascinating experience you will talk about for weeks. More details to come!

Stop by the store – 127 Marcus Rd, Delanson, NY 12053 any day from 9:00am to 5:30pm. Self-serve - just look for the red cash box by the door.

Remember to bring back your clean, empty jars too! Take $1 off for every 1-4lb jar returned and $2 off for every 5lb or 12lb jar returned!

We look forward to seeing you soon! Enjoy that pure, raw and natural honey!

“This has become my go-to gift store for a unique gift that everyone seems to love. It is convenient and I LOVE the honey!” Jan H, Delanson, NY

In 2020 we went through the testing and inspection process to become a “NY Grown and Certified Honey Producer.” While all claim their honey is pure, and bees are the best, we decided to back the claims up with the documentation and inspections that prove we have healthy hives, excellent sanitation in extraction, and nothing but pure, raw NY local honey.

Pure - Natural- Raw
