Bee Wild, More Than a Local Honey Company

John Wright, a third generation beekeeper, is keeping his family’s business and mission alive in Northern Georgia.   His grandfather ignited the beekeeper passion in his then 10 year old son, John’s Dad, by giving him 10 hives to raise. He went on to receive a degree in forestry, started his own ‘Honey House’ and taught John the trade and the environmental importance of bees.

John joined his Dad in the business bringing in new ideas and expanding the brand into the wellness and sustainability markets.  His mission is to educate his customers not only to the importance of bees as the foundation of the food chain, but to the nuances of honeys.

Honey is like Wine

The many varieties and infusions of honey should be paired with food accordingly

Sourwood Honey

The Sourwood Tree is also called the Lily of the Valley Tree. It blooms in mid summer  near the Appalachian Trail.  The honey that has been accumulated in the hives is removed in late June and when the bees add the new honey to the hives, they produce a pure honey that has a rich caramel flavor with buttery maple overtones.
