Welcome to Sun Mountain Apiary

Good news! Linda's handcrafted lotion bars are now available! These lotion bars are one of our most popular items and are made from all natural ingredients with our own beeswax being the main. Just in time for cold weather you won't find anything better for those chapped sore hands! Available in lavender scent and natural.
We have a limited supply of candles now, but more are in production and the variety will be increasing as we make more over the next few weeks. We think you will like some of the brand new styles too!
Glassware has been one of our more difficult items to keep up with this past couple of years. Availability has been sporadic and pricing volatile. Everything has gone up but given the quantity we need, the glassware affects us most directly. We got a shock yesterday when we found that 4lb jars have doubled in price since we purchased them in the spring. We are now offering $3 off for returning our 4, 5 or 12lb jars ($1 off on all others). Your returns go a long way to help maintain our pricing. Help us, help you and return those clean, honey jars!

Did you know?
Many of you probably watched the Queen's funeral and ceremonies last week. But did you know that the queen had nearly two dozen hives at Buckingham Palace? Royal beekeeper John Chappel had the task of informing the bees. In European tradition dating back centuries, the bees are to be told of major events so they will not leave the hive. As part of the ceremony, every hive had a black ribbon attached and beekeeper Chappel would knock on each saying in hushed tones " Your mistress is dead, but don't you go. Your new master will be a good master to you." The bees now report to King Charles. Fascinating stuff.

Happy Fall and Bee Safe!

“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.
