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.

Weston

Marina has kept bees in Weston since 2000 and sells the harvest as Red Bee Apiary: single-origin wildflower and blueberry blossom honey, honeycomb, creamed honey, bee pollen, propolis, and beeswax candles and salves. The property is a private working apiary, opened to the public only for occasional garden tours, talks, and honey tastings. Products ship through redbee.com and sell in specialty shops around Connecticut.

Wilton

BeeLove Apiaries keeps one of the larger sets of hives in Wilton, on Sturges Ridge Road, where Ray DuBois produces raw honey and beeswax and teaches beekeeping classes. The operation focuses on pollinator conservation as much as honey production, building out bee sanctuaries alongside the harvest. Current honey stock and class schedules are posted at BeeLove.org.
