Honey Farms & Apiaries near Hartford, CT

East Hartford

Kirk runs Langford Apiary as a backyard beekeeping business in East Hartford, selling raw, strained, and creamed honey alongside bee nucs and beekeeping supplies. His Carniolan queen-breeding program keeps bees off antibiotics and out of chemically sprayed foraging areas. Kirk answers customer questions directly by phone or email rather than through a shop.

Farmington

Jones' Apiaries has kept bees in Farmington since 1997, started by Ted and Becky Jones as a family operation. Beyond bottling small-batch honey, they sell beekeeping supplies and each spring offer nucleus colonies and queens to other beekeepers — order early, since colonies typically sell out by late April. The apiary also provides pollination services to area orchards and gardens.

Simsbury

Hilltop Apiaries has kept bees in the Farmington Valley across three generations, expanding from one backyard hive to eight apiaries around Simsbury. The honey is raw wildflower, never heated, filtered, or blended with imports, and the family also bottles habanero-infused honey, whipped spreads, and jam. Products are True Source Certified and kosher parve, sold through their own site and at Clevelands' Country Store. Order online at hilltopapiaries.com.

Coventry

Tolland

Bee Haven Apiaries bottles wildflower and local honey with no additives, from hives kept on Stag Trail in Tolland. Their honey turns up on shelves at Ellington Agway and a handful of other regional retailers, alongside direct sales from the farm. It's a small, hands-on operation — the beekeeper who capped the jar is the same one who answers the phone.
