Our Story

Our apiary in Essex Junction has easy access for our bees to forage the Winooski River watershed, the largest tributary that feeds into Lake Champlain. The surrounding area is also home to several open spaces such as Pearl Street Park, Casavant Nature Area, Woodside Natural Area, Saint Michael's Natural Area, Winooski Valley Park District, and Winooski Gorge Park, providing plenty of opportunities for our bees to gather nectar from a diverse range of natural sources.

Brooks Bees sources pure honey varieties from its own and other apiaries in Vermont, each with a unique and delicate floral taste and mild sweetness that is the hallmark of Vermont honey. Our commitment to sustainable beekeeping practices ensures that the honey is produced with utmost care and attention to detail, resulting in a high-quality product that is both delicious and nutritious. Whether drizzled over your morning toast or used as a natural sweetener in your tea, Brooks Bees' Vermont pure honey is sure to delight your taste buds with its exceptional flavor.

To ensure the highest quality, our beeswax undergoes a purification process that involves gentle heating to remove impurities while preserving its ionizing properties and natural fragrance. This process also clarifies the wax's natural color, resulting in a beautiful and clean product. Our beeswax candles are crafted by hand, with a focus on intention and attention to detail. From the pouring process to the final mold, each candle is made with care and dedication to create a beautiful and long-lasting product.
