How We Got Started

What began as a beekeeping hobby - with a single beehive, has since grown into a small apiary producing some of the finest multifloral (from the nectar of many species) and monofloral (from the nectar of one species) sourced honey found in the Southeast. To think it all started with a delivery of packaged bees is pretty incredible. In fact, the original package container below still resides in our home office.

                                                                            

Columbus, Georgia may not seem like a large place for the home of Cold Creek Bee Company, but when you consider it's also the founding location of many large companies like: Aflac, Coca-Cola and Carmike Cinemas (now AMC Theatres), it's just the right size. It's a place where you can raise your family, enjoy the great outdoors and get a sense for folks that hold fast to a foundational principal of "treat folks right and do what's right."

Our signature product is a multifloral, wildflower honey. We also carry monofloral honey varieties like: orange blossom, mesquite, buckwheat, tupelo, blueberry and avocado. We're also working to add other monofloral types like: sourwood, some of the finest honey available. Each of these honey varieties offer unbelievable flavor and can be used for everyday use or paired with fruit, cheese or your favorite culinary dish. Your options are limitless.

There is no substitute for Cold Creek Bee honey. So if you want to see a great movie, visit AMC Theatres. If you want a cool refreshing drink on a hot summer day, ask for a Coke. But, if you want truly unprecedented honey, ask for it by name, Cold Creek Bee honey.

It's simple, really. It's all about our bees. Our hives are continuously and meticulously managed to ensure strong, healthy bees. Why? Because a reproductive hive is a honey producing hive. Truly, there is no more fascinating an insect than the humble bee. She works tirelessly and without direction, but certainly, the marvelous byproduct of her efforts is honey. It simply doesn't get any better than that. 

                               

Here are just a few examples of how well our queens lay. The brown capped cells contain pupa that will hatch in a few days. The white, intermittent larvae in the cells were merely eggs just several days earlier and will be capped soon. In fact, it only takes 21 days from the time the queen lays an egg until a worker bee emerges from her cell to begin life's journey. 

  

Cold Creek Bee does not add anything to its honey to impart these amazing flavor profiles. All that is left up to our bees and Mother Nature. 100% pure, all natural honey. Guaranteed.
