About
Bodhi Bee Farms LLC Short Bio:
We are a small family-owned local business. We moved to Williamsburg a few years ago from Chesapeake. We quickly fell in love with this community, and it has embraced us from the start. We started this business as a sideline born of our passion for Nature and well-being, and now we want to share that passion with our fellow Williamsburg area Friends. What is it all about? We want to share what we have learned and learn what others have to share. We have the desire to help and teach, in a community of like-minded people, who enjoy Well-being, Beekeeping, Gardening, and so much more. Learn and grow with us! We usually harvest Honey in Mid-July. We extract it, strain it, bottle it, and label it. We never pasteurize, or microfilter it. We sell our local raw honey straight to consumers for a fair price. While honey production is seasonal and dependent on many variables, we may offer from time-to-time products which help to support featured Apiarists, whom we feel represent our values, mission, and philosophy. We have limited openings for Beekeeping Mentorships and hope that shortly we can offer personalized training and services. We welcome you to become a part of our Ecosystem.Volunteerism: We are active members of this community, volunteering in local clubs, charities, and events. We mentor new beekeepers and do our best to provide help and advice to anyone who wants to know more about Bees, Plants, Herbs, Gardening, and well-being.
