About Us
Through sustainable beekeeping, Small Bees protects the health of each hive, helping our local bee population continue to thrive.
We're more than just beekeepers
The pure, unfiltered goodness of honey
We're a family-owned and operated 'small' business, established in San Jose in 2002. Our goal from day one was to provide quality products at a fair price — and that goal hasn't changed since.
Prize-Winning Honey Year After Year!
All Natural Products
Specializing in products made from honey and beeswax, Small Bees offers three product lines: honey and honey products, whole body care products, and beeswax candles. Every product is handmade, packaged, and labeled by our family, and sold at farmers' markets across Santa Clara, San Mateo, and Alameda counties — as well as select Whole Foods locations. Small Bees maintains over 150 hives in five different apiaries registered and certified with the Santa Clara County Department of Agriculture, placed throughout the county.
A Bee and Earth-Friendly Company
We strive to recycle and use recycled materials wherever possible, and we favor natural ingredients over artificial preservatives and petroleum-based products whenever we can.
We're grateful for the continued support of our customers, and we're committed to keeping our products affordable. We'd love to see you at your local farmers' market — check our calendar for details!
