Looking For a Local Raw Honey Supplier?

Blackwater Beekeeper Association is primarily composed of Local (Horry, Marion, Georgetown counties) Beekeepers who harvest honey from local flowers in our coastal plain region. These are generally small producers who harvest honey approximately mid to late June of each year..

Many BBA members bring honey to our monthly meeting where you can purchase your needs. All meeting are free to attend if you want to learn about issues facing beekeepers and pollinators. Members may also offer honey for sale at local farmers markets, roadside stands or BBA events promoting local honey. The BBA logo at a table helps ensure it is locally produced. If you need it sooner...

A list of local BBA beekeepers who sell local honey will appear. Simply contact them and if they have it available make arrangements to pick it up have it delivered.

As special events (birthdays, Valentine's Day) occur in your family consider giving a gift of education to someone in your family interested in learning about our most common pollinator. Seminars and courses make a great gift for a student or friend.
