About Us

Orchard Hills Bees began in 2018, when we were gifted a few hives that sparked a passion for beekeeping. What started as a simple hobby quickly grew into a meaningful small business rooted in nature, craftsmanship, and community. Today, we offer a thoughtfully curated collection of products—from raw, local honey to hand-poured candles, nourishing lip balms, and gentle skincare made with intention.

As our business has grown, so has our commitment to thoughtful formulation. At Orchard Hills Bees, our products are consciously crafted for the entire family using thoughtfully selected ingredients that are always paraben-free, formaldehyde-free, and phthalate-free. We prioritize safety, stability, and gentle formulation—because what goes on your skin and into your home should be made with care.

We believe in caring for our skin the way we care for our land and bees—with patience, responsibility, and respect for the process.

Nestled in the countryside of Lafayette, New York, surrounded by rolling farms and apple orchards, we’re grateful to live and work in a place where bees and people thrive side by side. Our bees forage on a diverse variety of blossoms, producing honey that reflects the beauty of our local landscape.

You’ll find a self-serve honey stand at the front of our property, where locals can stop by for fresh, seasonal honey throughout the warmer months. For everything else—from candles to skincare—you can explore our full collection online. Be sure to subscribe to our emails for updates on honey availability, product launches, and market days.

Thank you for being here and supporting our journey from hive to home.
