Ward is very nice. Let us see the apiary and answered our questions before purchasing a jar of honey. Will be their returning customer.

Local honey!

My wife and I took our two young grandsons to learn about beekeeping, and Ward was wonderfully accommodating. He did a great job showing and talking about the bees and... read more hives. Of course, the grand finale was having the boys taste his delicious honey and take home some honeycomb and a honey bear. They have been sharing their excitement and experience with their classmates and friends. Well done, Ward.

Absolutely amazing tasting honey! I was able to get a tour and everything was very clean. Ward's knowledge on beekeeping is unmatched and he doesn't just do honey. I was... read more really impressed to find out that if you want to get into beekeeping, he will bring a hive directly to you. You can also get any beekeeping supplies you need and/or lessons. I highly recommend.

Was lead to this local upstate New York honey maker by word of mouth from a friend. I’m a novice honey connoisseur; well maybe more like collector; but regardless I... read more gave them a try based on my friends review. We ordered the pure raw Spring Light large jar. First of all shipping was instant. Came within 48 hours of ordering. Love wildflower honey to begin with and this was absolutely superb. Very smooth, very rich, beautiful consistency for immediate use. You cannot go wrong with this maker or this honey the taste will go well with anything you use honey with. For the love of Bees please do not buy prepackaged processed store bought honeys even if they have a fancy bottle and labeling. You never know where that really comes from or how long it’s been there. Support local keepers and their honey you can’t go wrong with local raw produced honey not only for the health benefits, but the quality, taste, and supporting your communities. We will 100% restock soon and excited to try next seasons batch and anything else they decide to put out. Well done Brighton Honey thank you soo much!!!

Excellent raw honey! I was looking for a local place to buy raw honey and I found it here!! The honey is soooo delicious and good. I will be buying... read more more and telling all of my customers at my business about Brighton Honey. Thank you!

We had a great experience the first time when I came out with my kids and we had a small tour along with explanation. Returned today to purchase more honey... read more for gift baskets. It was easy to get in touch with Ward and a pleasure to work with him.

The snow covered hives are beautiful. The birds abound at the feeders. A small piece of solitude where the cats peacefully sleep.

Brighton Honey has adorable, simple packaging with delicious honey inside. My three kids have had sore throats from colds and are delighted to have a little of Brighton Honey... read more on a spoon to help soothe their coughs. I love that I know this honey comes from a small producer and that care goes into the bee keeping, harvesting and packaging of the honey. The honey arrived quickly after ordering and we will be placing an order again!

I found this place online on Friday evening and was able to “schedule” a time to show up for a short tour the next day. Ward is extremely welcoming not... read more only with his hives but his entire property and home. I haven’t met many beekeepers, but I’ll probably never meet a more humble one. All of our questions were answered in full detail and we absorbed all there is to know about queen bees, honey production, and how bees survive the winter. A perfect place to bring a date or the family for an hour, and I can’t even begin to describe the honey itself—it’s that tasty, natural and sweet. We bought two jars and some even contain chunks of honeycomb as a sweet delicacy. 10/10 will return someday.

We had a swarm end up in our yard. Gave Ward a call and within a half an hour was on site boxing them up. Came back the next day... read more by 7 am to pick them up. The process was quick and very easy for me.

I’ve bought delicious honey from Brighton Honey a few times and always loved it, but today we needed help with something else..... BEES! We woke to a bunch of... read more honeybees making their way into our house from the attic, coming through the light fixtures. YIKES. I called Ward, and he was able to come and help us get rid of them. He was very knowledgeable and quick, he gave us great advice and we were able to save tons of $$ by calling him vs an exterminator. 10/10 would recommend the honey and bee removal!!

The health benefits of raw honey is one reason that we buy our honey from Brighton honey. Honestly if it had no health benefit at all we would still... read more buy this honey, it is simply delicious. I have it in my tea every morning and my husband likes it on his cheerios. It makes the most amazing honey mustard and I have used it as a drizzle over roasted carrots. I buy several jars a year and have been purchasing honey from Brighton honey for a few years now. I bought the last jar of the Spring honey this year and was a bit concerned that I would run out before the fall honey had been harvested, thankfully I did not. The honey is always fresh even though it can be stored for long periods of time. Honey comb makes a wonderful natural substitute for sugar making it diabetic friendly. Last but not least I would like to thank Ward and his family for all the efforts required to supply his neighbors and community with these amazing products. As you can see from the photo we use a good bit of honey. The three jars in the photo have been purchased over the last 6 months. Ward please Bee kind and save the last jar for me!

Ward is incredibly knowledgeable about honey, and I learned more about bees and beekeeping in an hour than I think I have learned in my whole life. His honey... read more is fantastic and I really can’t recommend Brighton Honey enough.

You know where to go if you need pure natural honey in Rochester. Plus Ward is happy to chat about his process and even offers a tour if interested.
