Mountain Man

Hello, I'm Caleb! While I have kept bees for about 16 years, Mountain Man Bees was "officially" established in 2015 in the Appalachian foothills of North Georgia. I first began bee keeping in 2004, because of my interest in the homesteading lifestyle and because my father had a few hives at the time. The first year was a disaster and I wanted to quit - one of my hives died out over the winter and the other was too aggressive to check. Thankfully, a commercial beekeeper in the area reached out to me and let me tag along with him while he checked hives. I kept at it and my love and passion for beekeeping grew more and more! Nikki, joined “the team” in 2018, when she became the beekeeper’s wife! There is a rich history of beekeeping in Eastern Montana. The winters are harsh and the honey flow short, but the bees bring in an abundant crop of wildflower, alfalfa and sweet clover honey nearly every year, making Montana one of the top honey producing states. We have been back and forth between Georgia and Montana twice now! Whew! But we believe Glendive, MT will be home for years to come. At least our home base!!Mountain Man Bees is a family run business. From hive placement to labeling the jars, it is managed from start to finish by myself and Nikki! And now we have a couple of future beekeepers, Lenya (4 years) and Hadassah (5 mo), to take over the business in a few years! :) Our “shepherding” of these amazing little creatures is just as important as them making honey. Our greatest desire and value for our "flock" is keeping them as naturally as possible. There are many challenges in today’s beekeeping world, but we continue learning and adapting our practices as necessary. In addition to tending bees, our family enjoys gardening, sustainable living practices, hiking, and nearly anything outdoors!Thank you for visiting our website! Feel free to contact us with any questions or comments!“By the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither and their fruit will not fail. They shall bear every month because their water flows from the sanctuary, and their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing.” (Ezekiel 47:12 AMP)
