About Howell Apiaries

 Our company, Howell Apiaries was generated from the influence of my father and grandfather, the owners of Howell’s Honey Farm.  My father began raising bees in 1974.  He and his father collected honey as a hobby.  They initially had 8 hives and it soon became a full time occupation in 1987 with a total of around 1200 hives.  I have worked with my father and grandfather for as long as I can remember.  Countless memories have been created over the years as we diligently worked and studied the bees together.  I received my first opportunity to tend bees and manage my own business at the age of fourteen.  At this time 32 hives were given to me to work as I continued to work side by side with my dad and grandpa.  Beekeeping has also played a major occupational role in my mother’s side of the family as well.  My grandpa Gorder has been a beekeeper since 1961.  He owned Gorder's Honey Company or as he likes to say “Gorder’s famous traveling bees!”  for many decades.  Beekeeping has been a multi-generational legacy that has defined our family tree.  

We pride ourselves on quality and integrity.  We continue to extract our honey from the comb using the same method we have for decades. We thereby preserve the natural characteristics of the honey and give you a superior and unaltered product.  We work exceptionally hard to maintain our hives in a way that meets the needs of the bees and the needs of production.  Taking care of the bees is our number one concern. We are constantly learning and adapting to the changing conditions so that we may generate a successful environment in which our bees can thrive. We take pride in our craft. With decades of experience, we will always strive to bring you the best products we can offer.                ~Dallin Howell
