Welcome to Sudbury Bees

Sudbury Bees LLC. is a family company built around a passion for bees and honey. Our family enjoys artisan beekeeping, we utilize safe, sustainable beekeeping practices. With our bees buzzing around the historic town of Sudbury, MA. The town's ZIP code of 01776 was specially assigned in recognition of the town's historical connections to the Revolutionary War according to the Sudbury Historical Society.

​Studies show that the foraging area around a beehive extends for two miles (3.2 km), although bees have been observed foraging twice and three times this distance from the hive.

​The United States Census Bureau indicates that Sudbury has a total area of 24.6 square miles (64 km2), of which 24.4 square miles (63 km2) is land and 0.3 square miles (0.78 km2), or 1.06%, is water.
​
Here in Sudbury, our bees buzz around the Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. One of eight national wildlife refuges that comprises the Eastern Massachusetts National Wildlife Refuge Complex. Roughly 85 percent of the refuge’s more than 3,800 acres is composed of valuable freshwater wetlands stretching along 12 miles of the Concord and Sudbury Rivers. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service protects and manages Great Meadows as nesting, resting, and feeding habitat for wildlife, with special emphasis on migratory birds.

We enjoy taking care of our bees and learn from them every day. Working in a traditional non-mechanized way using high quality ingredients. Our purpose is to offer you the best raw honey from Sudbury and from around the world. An alternative to the industrial style packaging and treatment of honey, which applies heat and filtration to gain efficiency in packaging over the loss of pollen and enzyme content. Sudbury Honey costs more to package because we do not heat our honey to speed up the process. Our goal is to provide you with honey true to the floral sources in Sudbury MA and as we continue to care for our bees, we also want to offer you the best raw honey around the area and from similar beekeeper friends from all over the world!

The Basics

The Honey Bee - apis mellifera - The genus name Apis is Latin for "bee", and mellifera is the Latin for "honey-bearing", referring to the species' production of honey.
​
Bees produce honey by collecting nectar, a clear liquid consisting of nearly 80 percent water and complex sugars. When nectar is being processed, honey bees create a draft through the hive by fanning with their wings. When the honey has dried, the honeycomb cells are sealed (capped) with wax to preserve it.

Honey is a biological mixture of inverted sugars, primarily glucose and fructose. It has antibacterial and antifungal properties. Honey will not rot or ferment when stored under normal conditions, however it will crystallize over time.

Our bees here in Sudbury are genetically diverse, a hybrid breed of the Italian (Aurea) and Carnolian (Karnica) bees developed by Latshaw Apiaries.

"That buzzing noise means something. Now, the only reason for making a buzzing noise that I know of is because you are... a bee! And the only reason for being a bee is to make honey. And the only reason for making honey is so I can eat it." Winnie the Pooh

"There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance." Henry David Thoreau

"The men of experiment are like the ant; they only collect and use. But the bee…gathers its materials from the flowers of the garden and of the field, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own." Leonardo da Vinci

"The happiness of the bee and the dolphin is to exist. For man it is to know that and to wonder at it." Jacques Yves Cousteau
