As a family, the Dursts are deeply committed to an environmentally-responsible tradition of beekeeping. We utilize the very best in apiary techniques and management, which allows our hives to be chemical free. We believe that this organic process produces superior honey and beeswax for our candles. Their website has a great Slide Show of bee frames, healthy bees, honey extraction, honey combs, bee boxes, hot house for bees, bee yards, and more.
