The Beekeeper's Story

Y.S. Eco Bee Farms was built on a foundation of four generations of hands-on beekeeping experience, with a long-term commitment to organic bee products driving intensive research and development. In 1995, the company became the pioneer in certified organic beekeeping in North America, having been granted O.C.I.A. organic certification — later aligned with the USDA/NOP standards in 2001. Based in Sheridan, Illinois, the company has grown to maintain dedicated beekeeping farms throughout the U.S. (including North Dakota, Minnesota, and Montana), as well as in Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand, enabling them to meet the ever-growing demands of the natural and health food industries nationwide. Their honey is harvested by healthy bees from eco-friendly, diverse regions, with beehives kept in isolated areas away from contaminated environments. The result is a naturally crystallized, unprocessed raw honey that preserves live enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Y.S. Eco Bee Farms has maintained its reputation as the most long-standing and reputable national distributor of certified organic honey, and their product line extends well beyond raw honey to include bee pollen, royal jelly, propolis, and specialty honey varieties.
