Northampton Honey

Northampton Honey is an apiary in Northampton, MA. All of the nectar gathered by our honeybees originates from the 01060 and 01062 zip codes. Our honey brings you the wholesome goodness that only nectar gathered from flowers planted by liberals can. Every hive a feminist utopia and a worker's collective. We've been selling you the nectar from your own plants since, roughly, 2007.
