The Florida Crew...

Mason Morgan David and bees - Copy.jpeg

Dennis, Josh, Eliezer, Edwin, Julio 

The keepers of the bees. The harvesters of honey. These hard-working guys handle business and make sure all "the girls" are happy and healthy, no matter where they are in the US.  They don't run from hard work, although they might sneak in the break room to soak up some AC and trade jokes at Dennis's expense. And they are always good for a laugh when they keep each other on their toes with banter that transcends even language barriers. And believe us, the translation from Spanish to redneck is entertainment gold. We never knew how quickly our H2A employees would become family.

Donna

Liz

Gus

This crew runs the bottling room and delivery routes. They know honey better than you can imagine, whether you're talking flavor and color, viscosity, or which wholesale account is on the caller ID (because that account always calls in Monday around 10). Gus's initiative, Liz's consistency, and Donna's wildcard antics bring laughs and heart to the shop, making the day-to-day hum feel like a second home.  Not Pictured are friendly faces Virgil and Joy, we couldn't make it without them!!

Kelly, Karoline, and Kamryn

The Kae's line of specialty products are often originated in Kelly's kitchen during weekend dinners around her always-full dining room table. When you purchase a product from this line, you can be sure it has been tried and tested with a grand baby on hip, a horse-loving preteen nearby, and more love than you can imagine.

Kaycee, Kasidee, and Morgan

A piece of our heart beats in North Dakota, and when these guys come for Florida summers (and sometimes Christmas!), the farm is a little bit brighter. Mason's wife and two kids bring a little extra spark when they're around, and they keep us laughing with their killer sense of humor.

Mrs. Kitsy (Grammy)

You've heard sayings about the woman behind the man who accomplishes big things? She is all of it: wonderful, nurturing, intuitive, and insightful. Get her on the phone and you'll stay for a while. What can we say? We are a family who loves connection, and that starts at the top. 

The family members we couldn't make it without...

Kayla and Kimber

This mama is all about happy and healthy ...especially when it comes to her kiddos.  She is an advocate of farm to table, and a maker of deceptively nutritious treats featuring our honey.  Kimber doesn't help out on the farm just yet, but this sweet baby definitely has us all wrapped around her little fingers!

Kathie and Marcie

Sisters-in-law just doesn't cut it when describing this bond. These two can be found manning the Folk Festival each year, and have an incredible wealth of knowledge about the business from years of supportive involvement. (Mike loved to talk about Kathie's knack for growing bees - it's a good story to hear!)

Kristi

Kristi, the original Baby Bee, is Mike and Kitsy's youngest daughter. After raising her family across the country, she's back!These days she helps Grammy navigate her new stage of life and "glue" is a good word for her. What we love most? ...all the brainy/artistic things she brings to the table (you know, the one at Kelly's house).

Jeff and Justin

Painters by trade, Jeff and his son Justin are always ready with an easy smile and laid back demeanor to help around the honey house or go on the route when needed. They inherited Mike's generosity and love of fishing, and they are effortlessly loved by everyone who meets them.

Lyndsey

You may have seen this gorgeous smartypants manning the booth at the fair.  She's got an RN license and spends her days saving lives now, but she still manages to  find time to moonlight on the farm with us!  We just couldn't love her more!
