Candles and honey

The “humming” part of Humming Grove Farm is our bees. Not only do we keep honey bees, we also are planting and nurturing high-yielding honey plants to support all kinds of pollinators and beneficial insects. We harvested honey from our bees in the spring of 2022, and have two flavors available: blueberry flowers and mountain mint. We use the extra wax from keeping bees to make fine candles, ranging in price from $5 for the smallest candles to $10 for the largest. Did you know that it takes about seven pounds of honey for bees to make one pound of wax?
