I’m beyond happy to have found Ward and Brighton Honey. As a first year beekeeper, I was intimidated at taking on a new skill. After reading a few books I... read more felt I was ready to dive in. I found Ward to be extremely knowledgeable with over 20 years of experience and was more than willing to share his knowledge and tools with me. I purchased nucs and some equipment from him and it was an absolutely ideal experience. We were able to drop off our brood boxes with empty frames and he filled them for us to pick up tightly secured and ready to take home. They’re settling in so nicely and I couldn’t be more grateful to Ward.

Whenever I visit Rochester or pass by along the thruway I always make time to visit and buy some honey. The honey is amazing and Ward is brilliant. Ward... read more can provide some great conversation and he full of ideas and can advise on most any topic. Amazing that he know so much about bees.

Best honey around! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for some good local honey in NY.

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!

Very friendly staff and great honey.

Incredible honey. Very deep, rich flavor. Fantastic service. Great guy. Best in the area. Buy your honey here!

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.

Excellent service. He was able to identify a paper wasp nest over the phone. Extremely helpful.

Local honey!

I live in Albany, NY currently, so I have to stock up on honey when I go home to visit. Its the best honey and comes from a beekeeper... read more that cares about the bees and the environment!

Great local product. Above and beyond customer service-----

WOW!!! Ward is terrific! We had a sudden Honeybee swarm turn into thousands of bees and a 9inch deep hive in our yard close to our pool. Ward returned our... read more call ASAP and the next we knew he was in our yard. Ward explained why it was happening and what the procedure was for safe removal. The best part of what we wrongly assumed was to be an ordeal...Wards’ Spring and Fall honeys are fantastic, you have to try some for yourself.

We were in town for parent's weekend at R.I.T. and were looking for something different to do outdoors. I called Brighton Honey to inquire about a visit to the apiary... read more and buying honey. The beekeeper, Ward, was welcoming and accommodating to my request. He gave us a personal tour in his backyard of the apiary and relayed many interesting facts to us about bees! This is not a structured facility and a walking tour. It is a family that welcomes you into their home and onto their property to share with you a piece of their lives. We were able to purchase honey, and it is delicious! I highly recommend a pit stop to Brighton Honey to check out the apiary and to buy some honey. Thank you Ward and family!
