Gee Dee Bees Raw, never processed, local West Michigan honey direct from our hives to your table.

Gee Dee Bees was established in 2007 in Hastings, MI after Greg spent over a year learning the beekeeping trade in Honduras with Africanized Bees while on a mission trip. Today, Gee Dee Bees has multiple hives across 5 West Michigan counties to be able to provide local, raw honey to our neighbors in those communities.

It’s robbing season. As the days get shorter, bees may rob other hives to gather as much nectar as possible. We use hive reducers to give the bees a smaller opening to defend.

Did you know, bees get hot too? When it starts to get warm in the hive, the bees take turns flapping their wings to cool down the inside of the hive. It’s commonly referred to as bearding. Notice why?
