BZ Honey

BZ Honey provides pure local honey to the communities where they keep their bees.

When Kelly and Matt Brantley received their first hives, they committed to maintaining their hives naturally to preserve the purity of BZ Honey. Today, BZ Honey still honors that commitment to deliver the best possible honey. Their hives have never been treated with any chemicals that could contaminate the honey or weaken our bees. Their honey is strained for clarity without filtering the pollen.

Their success with bees comes from a desire to ensure good bee health. They use integrated pest management to help their bees combat pests such as small hive beetles and varroa mites without relying on chemicals. They experiment with Langstroth hives and Warre hives to determine which provide healthier bees. They allow the bees to build their own honeycomb without the need for chemical-laden foundation. They rear their own queens from high-performing hives that survive winter and local conditions.

The hives are situated in suburban areas of Houston to provide local honey from those areas. They sell their honey directly through their website and at farmer’s markets situated near their bee yards. Most importantly, every farmer’s market that they sell through is close enough to one of their bee yards that their bees can fly to the market.
