Our Story
Discover the passion, dedication, and sustainable practices behind every jar of Bobby's Honey. From our Santa Cruz mountains to your table, we're committed to pure, artisan honey.
Meet Bobby
Bobby's journey into beekeeping began over a decade ago with a simple fascination for these incredible creatures. What started as a hobby quickly grew into a passion for sustainable beekeeping and a deep appreciation for the vital role bees play in our ecosystem.
Located in the heart of Santa Cruz County, our apiaries are strategically placed across diverse landscapes - from coastal wildflower meadows to mountain eucalyptus groves. This variety allows our bees to create unique, complex honey flavors that truly capture the essence of our beautiful region.
Every jar of Bobby's Honey represents our commitment to sustainable practices, bee welfare, and preserving the natural environment that makes our honey so special.

Our Process
From hive to jar, we follow time-honored traditions combined with modern sustainable practices.
Sustainable Beekeeping
Our bees forage freely across Santa Cruz's diverse landscapes, from coastal meadows to mountain groves, creating unique flavor profiles in each harvest.
Careful Harvesting
We harvest honey only when frames are fully capped, ensuring optimal flavor and natural preservation. Our gentle methods prioritize bee welfare above all.
Minimal Processing
Our honey is strained but never filtered, preserving natural enzymes, pollen, and the complex flavors that make each variety unique.
Community Connection
Bobby's Honey is more than just a business - we're part of the Santa Cruz community. You'll find us at the Saturday Farmers Market, local events, and partnering with area restaurants and cafes.
We believe in education and regularly host beekeeping workshops, school visits, and community events to share our passion for these amazing creatures and the vital role they play in our food system.
