Welcome!
Hale’s Honey is a small honey and bee operation located in Menifee County, KY. We specialize in providing pure local raw honey, nuc starter hives and queens produced from our breeder stock. At Hale’s Honey, our stock of bees is Italian, Russian and Purdue Ankle Biter. Combining these breeds yields a mixture of bees that produce honey well while also being resistant to the diseases that face bees today, namely the varroa mite. Our operation is part-time but to us it feels full-time. Over the past few years, we have established a sizeable clientele for Hale’s Honey, nucs and queens. We typically sell out very quickly, most years we are sold out of honey by the end of August and nucs by Christmas.
Currently, we winter about 125 hives. Those hives are used to split for Nuc’s and to raise our own queens while also using several for honey production. We typicaly create about 200 nucs for sale and to maintain our own number of hives.
We will start taking orders for 2019 Nucs on January 3rd
We will not be selling queens in 2019
We are currently a member of the following associations:
Kentucky State Beekeepers Association
Licking River Beekeepers Association
Eastern Apicultural Society
Kentucky Queen Bee Breeders Association
