​

IS YOUR STORE OPEN/ HOW CAN I BUY PRODUCTS?

We are thrilled that you want to purchase our products! Thank you for supporting our family business and the bees!

 

Farm Store: Our farm store in Raytown is not open (we outgrew our space). We do not know if/when that location will reopen to the public. We miss seeing you in the farm store and hope we can bring it back someday!

​

Made in KC: We have three mini stores within the Made in KC marketplaces. There you can purchase all of the products that we make. The Lee's Summit location is a quick 7 minutes from the old farm store and the Plaza location is 20 minutes away. The newest location, located in Lenexa, is only 25 minutes southwest of the bee farm. Detailed location info is found at the top of this page.

​

DO YOU GIVE TOURS, DO EDUCATION?

​

We wish! We love talking about bees!! A future goal for the bee farm is to do more education, tours, talks and community outreach. Follow us on social media to stay up to date on when we'll be offering tours and education. We'll also update our website once we are ready.

​

Honeycomb is a seasonal item, usually available from May to August. If it isn't in the Etsy store we do not have any available to sell.

Currently we are not selling any beeswax by itself. If that changes we'll update folks on social media.
