Bloomfield Honey Farm has been in business since 2004, with apiaries in Ontario, Monroe and Yates counties. They belong to the Ontario Finger Lakes Beekeepers’ Association and are helping to train new beekeepers each year. In addition, they are working with other beekeepers to breed locally raised, winter hardy, and pest resistant honeybees. This year we have grown to 100 hives in order to supply quality bee products to local customers AND to help local farmers pollinate their crops. Our bees are kept in permanent apiaries on farms where they pollinate trees, flowers and food crops, without the stresses associated with continual relocation, as sometimes happens with commercial pollinators. Honeybees are vital to maintaining our local food supply. At the Bloomfield Honey Farm, its about more than just honey!
