We are one of the highest commercial beekeeping operations in the nation! Keeping bees at high altitudes requires vigilance and careful keeping. The lack of commercial pesticide use in our high-mountain valley, as well as varied wild foraging, leads to a healthier product with a unique flavor and texture.
At the Tabernash Honey Company, we know that it’s the simple things in life that make it so sweet. There are few flavors in the world that taste like 100% pure, mountain-raised honeybee honey. Indulge in one of nature’s oldest, simplest pleasures and dip into a jar of Tabernash Honey today.
We care for nearly 300 hives of Carniolan and Italian honey bees. This is a relatively small number of hives for a commercial beekeeping operation, and we like it that way. This allows us to give special attention to all of the bees in our care.
Join us for an unforgettable experience in the Colorado high-country -we’re offering hive tours throughout the summer! Dive into the world of beekeeping and get a peek inside the hive. We’ll learn about the honeybee caste system, aspects of the hive, honey production, beekeeping tools and so much more! Click here to view more information about hive tours.
In late summer, we collect the honey boxes that sit atop each hive and harvest the honey inside. If a hive has not produced enough to feed its bees throughout the winter, we do not take from that hive! Our honey extraction method features low-heat processing, preserving all of the natural pollens and antioxidants that make our honey so special.
