Today, May 20th, we’re celebrating the tiny heroes behind every jar of honey—bees! World Bee Day honors the pollinators that support our ecosystems, our food supply, and the delicious sweetness we love to share with you.
The particular blooms where naturalized honeybees forage shapes the flavor of each honey harvest. Supporting local honey producers helps protect pollinator habitats and encourages a more diverse and sustainable landscape.
You can help too! Planting flowers that support and encourage our favorite pollinators makes a real difference. Bees see blues, purples, and yellows best, and in the southwest, they particularly enjoy sunflowers, lavender, and desert marigold. Even a few blooms in a pot or patch can offer valuable forage, and bee hotels are a simple way to support solitary species like mason bees.
This weekend, stop by and sample our raw, unfiltered New Mexico honeys:
🌼 Wildflower – rich, robust, and full of desert pollen
🍯 Clover – classic, crystallized, and mild cinnamon finish
💛 Cotton Blossom – light and sweet with a clean finish
Buying local honey supports healthy bees and thriving habitats. Come taste the difference at the market!
Bee seeing you,
Brenna & Kenny
