My beekeeping journey is a story of finding my passion for bees, working in agriculture, and the pursuit of building a successful apiary.  As a first generation beekeeper, I started as a rookie employee in 2010 in the bee yards of Winters, California.  Little did I know my job would ultimately lead to my passion for beekeeping that has become a career full of opportunity, travel, friendships, and future.. 

Brittany’s Bees began in 2019 when I purchased my first 10 hives, since then I’ve grown to almost 400 colonies. I’ve found Wheeler County to be a great home base for my bees and business.  The people and landscape of the Ochoco’s and John Day Basin have greeted me and my hives with open arms and endless support.

As my hive numbers grow and my honey boxes become heavier with fresh local raw honey, I keep working to improve my line of artisan products.  I personally bottle every jar of honey by hand, handmake candles and tend to each hive! 

I believe bees are a valuable part of regenerative agriculture benefitting wild and agricultural plant populations while producing nutritious clean and natural products! I strive to learn and implement more holistic beekeeping practices each year.  I hope those that meet me view me as a partner and neighbor in building sustainable products, healthier communities, and stronger local economy!
