Our Apiaries

Hannan Beekeeping is based in Franklin, North Carolina, where our colonies work mountain fields, woodland edges and changing seasonal blooms. We inspect and manage the hives hands-on throughout the year.

Inside the hive

Every jar begins with healthy colonies, careful inspections and the work of thousands of honey bees.
