The Farm
At Woodland Creek Honey Farm, we are dedicated to doing our part of caring for creation, by practicing environmentally friendly, sustainable beekeeping. We love our bees and all of our apiaries are treated naturally.
We currently have 100 colonies in four apiaries all in the South Puget Sound area watch us grow!
We offer a variety of natural, raw, hive products and services, including honey extraction and processing for other local beekeepers
The Project Funded
This grant helps us move toward the purchase of a wax melting unit to enable us to process beeswax and offer it along with our other products from the bees. This will help us to maximize everything the bees are making.
Project Impact
Miraculously, bees make wax as the internal structure for their home, and the "pantry" to store their honey in. Harvesting honey, is harvesting wax as well. Because we value everything the bees make and have been wanting to be good responsible stewards of everything in the hive, we have literally hundreds of pounds of unprocessed wax that we have not been able to clean, form and package into marketable amounts for our customers. Our customers and people in our area have long been asking for beeswax. Now we will be able to make it available for them and continue to fulfill our stewardship mission.
