The Honey Exchange

I am not a big fan of this heat, but the bees LOVE IT. It's time to make splits before your hives swarm. If you need queens, we have the gentle, productive, hygienic queens from Honeybee Genetics.
Come any time the shop is open, though we prefer to not pick them in the tain.

We had a great visit with Aysia from Channel 13. It was a beautiful day to play in the bees yard, and the gift shop looks especially lovely.
Come by and taste some meadowfoam honey!

The Maine Character: The Honey Exchange creates a buzz in Portland From golden jars of honey to candles and skincare, there’s plenty to explore.

Happy Mother's Day weekend! We're open regular hours: 10-6 Saturday, 10-2 Sunday.

A customer was in the store last week and asked us what this pitcher was supposed to be used for. Huh?

How about Mom's favorite liquids?! Lemonade, margaritas, wine, mead, water, gin and tonics, mocktails of every stripe... I could go on.

Come see us and find something yummy to make it a slam dunk.

Keep feeding your bees!
And if you installed packages last weekend, make sure your queen has been released - look for eggs!
If she's still in the cage, it's time to release her. 🥰

Moms love The Honey Exchange!

It occurs to me that not everyone drives around with beehives in the back, and that makes me sad for you. It's exhilarating.
