BEARS!!
Now that we have your attention....
The bees of the Bent Creek Honey Company aren't the only ones sneaking into your yard these days. Our furry neighborhood mascots have awoken from their long winter snooze and are out and about in full force throughout Bent Creek and the surrounding area. So ask yourself, are you living Bearwise?
What is Bearwise, and why should I be bothered?
Because at Bent Creek Honey we love bears almost as much as we love bees and know that the only way to keep them, and our community safe and healthy is to keep bears wild. That starts with living Bearwise in our own homes. Bearwise is a program that helps landowners, businesses, and communities to coexist with bears.
How can I live Bearwise?
Bearwise has a ton of information available to the public and it's absolutely free. You should definitely check out the Bearwise website, but since you're already here we'll give you the low-down on some Bearwise Basics:
- Never feed or approach bears
- Secure food, garbage, and recycling
- Remove bird feeders when bears are active
- Never leave pet food outdoors
- Clean and store grills and smokers
- Alert neighbors to bear activity
About Us
As Local As It Gets
The bees of Bent Creek took something from your yard....and made delicious honey out of it! The bees of Bent Creek are working together to bring you the most natural, most local honey you could possibly ask for! All of our honey comes from bees raised in chemical-free hives, right here in the 'hood.
Thanks for another great year!
We had another great year in 2022 thanks to all of you! We harvested a lot of early season honey that came largely from Tulip Poplars and blackberries, with a robust, almost smoky flavor. Then our wildflower honey came on strong with a dark, rich flavor this great for people who like a bold honey in their diet.
Bent Creek Honey is still a small hive, but we're happy to provide the most local honey you could ask for in a variety of sizes. We also offer natural beeswax lip balms in peppermint, honey lavender, and soothing eucalyptus.
