Building a Community

 

Aurora Springs Honey has been spreading awareness about the declining bee population and how we can all help since founder, Nicole, began beekeeping at 9 years old. We’ve also been dedicated to spreading knowledge about the health benefits and sustainability of locally sourced honey.

Depending on the weather and how deep into the hive you're going, you don't need to wear a full suit. Well, at least I didn't.
