Bees, Honey and Apiary Supplies
Located in Franklin, NC we are family owned and operated. Farming has been a family business for decades. Farming and honeybees have been a passion of the family since my father and his brother were young men. While the family may no longer grow and sell produce, we do raise and sell honeybees. We strive to support local farmers, fellow beekeepers, and our communities with pollination, top-quality nucs, packages and an assortment of bee keeping supplies.
About Us
About Our Bees
Appalachian Apiaries was founded by my father and has grown into the largest commercial beekeeping business in Western North Carolina. After serving 21 years in the Army, I retired and came back to the mountains I grew up in and love in order to continue the family business.
