ALLISON'S APIARIES, LLC
OCOEE, FLORIDA

I currently have around 100 bee hives that I manage. My goal is to have 400 to 500 bee hives in the near future. I raise mated queens and nucleus (5 frame nuc) hives to sell to beekeepers. This is a family business, so my children and my wife help in extracting, bottling, labeling and selling honey at Farmer’s Markets. I am installing a certified pouring facility to sell honey wholesale and retail. We harvest and sell local, raw honey at the Winter Garden Farmer’s Market on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We also sell honey at the Whole Foods Farmers Market on Sand Lake Road on Tuesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. I love honey bees and honey, and other products of the hive. I conduct educational training (i.e., Pre-K, elementary school and middle school educational programs) for any organization that would like to learn about honey bees and I bring along some honey for people to taste. I provide pollination services for vegetables and fruit trees in the area. I also mentor new beekeepers that live in the West Orange County area. My husband has really bad allergies and with a quick chat with Paul, he recommended a particular type of Honey called Wild Flower and boy has it helped my husband stop all his sneezing and watery eyes. Paul is a wealth of knowledge and such a sweet person. Thanks, We are your beekeepers! From start to finish, we know exactly where your honey has been and can guarantee that it’s pure, local, raw and unprocessed. We keep it local. All of our honey comes from Central Florida — our bees have access to a variety of flowers from which they gather nectar and pollen. Especially if you live in Central Florida, our honey can help reduce allergy symptoms due to local plant species.
