Storybook Honey
Father-daughter team Josh and Leah started their honey business with 2 beginner nukes. Their business has now grown to 24 hives at 4 locations where the bees are surrounded by native plants and forbs and away from chemical insecticides. Their goal is to help breed a bee that is resilient to climate change and so it will not need human intervention in our future. They are helping bring back wild bees again!
