Bee2Bee Honey Collective

Bee2Bee Honey Collective provides beekeeping services and hyperlocal honey throughout Houston. We’ve installed well over 100 beehives in micro-apiaries in Houston yards, on rooftops inside the loop, in suburbs and alongside businesses/non-profits. We also partner with local beekeepers to bring their products to market.

Our specialties include small-batch neighborhood honeys, honey infusions and products of the beehive. We enjoy experimenting with new flavors and seeking special honey varietals. Our honeys are always unfiltered and raw. We’re licensed with the Texas Department of State Health Services and registered with the FDA, allowing us to sell online, retail and wholesale.

Our mission is educational – we provide beekeeping mentorship to individuals/families as well as classes and presentations on various subjects such as backyard beekeeping, urban pollination, honey varietals, honey marketing and honey pairing. The result is a small army of educated hobbyist beekeepers and an informed public.

We have a limited selection of neighborhood honeys, as they are seasonal and small-batch. We separate harvests beehive to beehive, as each colony’s foraging is different and results in a different terroir.

We always bottle in glass for two main reasons. First, as beekeepers, we are conscious about the environment and try not to add more plastic when possible to the market. Second, bottling in plastic affects the honey’s taste, especially over time. We urge consumers to not buy honey in plastic, to reuse our jars and even offer a deposit towards a future purchase. We take pride in our product and our packaging. Our tureen jars with wide mouths were designed to look beautiful on a cheese board.

Bee2Bee was founded in 2016, by B2B internet marketer and Houston Dairymaids cheesemonger, Nicole Buergers. Bee2Bee Honey was her answer to a market flooded with both local backyard beekeepers and customers who wanted honey from their neighborhood – but no means to get one connected to the other. She is an accomplished beekeeper providing beekeeping services to the Asch Building, the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, local farms, as well as families all over Houston. She is a member of the Houston Beekeepers Association and is currently in the Texas Master Beekeeper Program. When she is not beekeeping, you can find her at the arcade playing pinball and on 96.1 ktru, Rice University’s radio station, as a community DJ.
