Welcome to our world! Three generations of the Colon family are on board to make this small apiary on Martha’s Vineyard thrive.

Our hives are clustered in different locations throughout the island in in all 6 towns. Our island honey is labeled from the specific town that it was harvested from + has a very small footprint.

We extract many times throughout the season to bring you single source honey whose smell alone can take you back to an island summer. Ahhh…extracting in small batches, you can taste the change of seasons. 

Honey is only part of our sideliner business. We thoughtfully create many other products from the amazing resources we extract from the hives.  Clean skincare products, wellness potions + air purifying 100% beeswax candles. 

In an effort to foster strong colonies, better suited for our island  environment, we raise our own queens ,  make our own wax foundation from our beeswax and build all our woodenware, always building boxes!

Beekeeping is hard work-heavy lifting in sweaty suits on hot days while being smoked + stung sometimes. It’s a sticky business, but it is real, and a pleasure to get to work with wonderful products of such fine smell + taste.

Come visit us in the summer at the West Tisbury Farmer’s Market on Martha’s Vineyard.  There you can purchase our island raw honey in bigger sizes and seasons. In the meantime, browse our products available here. Look forward to meeting you!
