McComBees Apiaries

McComBees Apiaries McComBees Apiaries sells local raw honey products, queens and nucleus colonies in northeast Indiana My goal is to provide excellent customer service.

My objective is to provide local, natural, and sustainable honey products while also raising bees in an ethical manner. To that end, I only sell honey, nucs, and queens that are produced in my Northeast Indiana apiaries. I accomplish high productivity with fewer colonies by prioritizing quality over quantity. I spend a lot of time out in the field, monitoring progress, managing growth, and address

ing potential issues. Hands-on experience and a Purdue University agriculture degree let me put the most effective management methods into practice to keep my bees healthy and thriving. To make your transaction with McComBees Apiaries as simple and convenient as possible, I offer several payment and delivery options. I enjoy meeting and conversing with customers, and I welcome your questions about beekeeping or my products. Beekeeping is my passion, and I appreciate your support.

Still smiling after an amazing week at the 2026 North American Honey Bee Expo in Louisville, Kentucky — the largest honey show in the world.

Proud to share that my team and I at McComBees Apiaries took 1st place in the Honey with BBQ Sauce category and placed in several additional categories against an incredibly competitive field from across North America.

The judge pictured is Kelsey Gerhardt of Evansville, Indiana — facebook.com/liquidgoldevv — one of many certified judges from across the country who was kind enough to suggest a photo during the public showing of the results.

And yes — the award-winning Honey BBQ Sauce will be available soon. Stay tuned.
