This apiary is owned and operated by Scott and Valarie Wilson. In the beekeeping world we are known as sideliners. What started as a hobby has now grown into a small Vermont honey business.

If by chance you have stumbled upon our website, we welcome you. We update our site periodically, so please check back from time to time. We keep our friends updated through our Facebook page. We invite you to add yourself as a fan.

As backyard beekeepers we are guilty of becoming robbers—thieves that is of the sweet-golden liquid that we call Heavenly Honey! We're in good company. Honey thieves date back to biblical times:

With great zeal, we delved into this adventure as a mid-life hobby during 2007, starting with one colony of packaged bees. However, we have been told that we can no longer call ourselves "hobby" beekeepers. Our official status is that of part-time beekeepers, per Dr. Medhat Nasr, who recently spoke at the Vermont Beekeepers Association meeting.

In 2010, we have expanded the number of colonies in our apiary, and we anticipate a great fall harvest.

Also this year Scott has enrolled in the Master Beekeeper program through Cornell University and Valarie begins her education in apitherapy where she will learn the various uses of honeybee products to maintain and improve health.

New in 2010 is our honey extraction services.

Regardless of the stings and the volatile nature of this avocation, we enjoy our honeybees and look forward to this next season!

Thank you for stopping by,

Scott and Valarie
