Honey Farms & Apiaries near Berkeley, CA

Livermore

Lyman Backyard Honey sells raw honey from a small apiary near the corner of Arroyo Road and Rivers Bend Circle in Livermore, in the East Bay wine country. It reads as a small-scale operation selling direct from the hive rather than a storefront business.

Antioch

Jones Family Honey pairs small-batch honey sales with residential bee removal in Antioch, in eastern Contra Costa County. Outfits that combine live-hive removal with honey sales are common in this part of the Delta, where swarms move into attics and sheds every spring.

San Jose

Wendy Towner manages more than 600 hives across Santa Clara County under The Honey Ladies name, bottling raw, unfiltered honey while also running a round-the-clock bee removal service for homeowners with unwanted swarms in walls and chimneys. The honey sells through their Campbell storefront and online. It's less a farm stand than a working apiary business, built on relocating bees rather than just harvesting from them.

San Jose

San Mateo

The Honeyverse is a honey shop in San Mateo, on the Peninsula between San Francisco and the South Bay.

Belmont

Honey by the Bay keeps hives and sells honey out of Belmont, on the San Francisco Peninsula, closer to a small urban apiary operation than a traditional farm. No working website confirms current products, harvest season, or where to buy.

Belmont

Oakland

Bee Healthy Honey Shop is a family business with beekeeping roots that trace back four generations to Yemen, now selling raw local honey, pollen, royal jelly, beeswax, and candles out of a small storefront on Telegraph Avenue in Oakland. Staff will transfer pollen into glass jars on request. It's a walk-in retail shop rather than a working apiary — a place to buy honey, not to visit hives.

The Ferry Building Marketplace counter is Carmel Honey Company's San Francisco stall, selling the same raw, unfiltered honey the company harvests from its own hives at its Monterey County locations. Look for jarred honey, honeycomb, and honey-based bath and beauty items alongside the company's gift boxes.
