UPDATE
The summer honey is available! The harvest was small but very high quality. This year the honey has a light amber color and mild flavor reminiscent of raspberry blossoms.
We have two glass jar sizes available this year, our standard 16 ounce glass honey jar that we offered last year and our new 8 ounce glass honey jar. Please visit our Products page for ordering information.
We have put together list of fun to read and informative books just for kids. Click here to download.
Don't forget to visit our Beekeeping and Resources pages as they have been updated with some great information.
A new product has been developed: Beeswax Candles.
Our 100% natural beeswax candles are hand-rolled from sheets of textured honeycomb that match any decor. The wicks are made of unprimed, braided cotton.
Contact us to place your order or visit one of the local stores, listed on the Products page, carrying our honey.
Our honey is typically harvested in the months of July and September. The timing and size of the harvest depends on the weather and, of course, the bees.
We also offer honey-based products year-round such as all natural lip balm, honey soap, and beeswax candles. These products are made in small batches to ensure freshness.
All of our products are made on the premises of County Barn Farm. You can purchase our products at local stores or we will ship them to you. Simply complete the Order Form or call (412) 225-0930 to place your order. Please visit our Products page for more information.
UPDATE
Joe Zgurzynski is now a Master Beekeeper! He passed the comprehensive exam taken at this year's Eastern Apicultural Society of North America's annual conference held in Ellicottville, New York.
The purpose of the Master Beekeeper certification program is to identify and certify people who have a detailed knowledge of honey bee biology, expertise in the proper practices of beekeeping, and can present this information to the beekeeping and non-beekeeping public in a detailed, accurate, clear and authoritative manner.
Joseph Zgurzynski is second generation beekeeper who grew up on a small farm in New Jersey. He was president of the local 4-H beekeeping club as a teenager and has had a lifelong interest in beekeeping and entomology.
Joe is a member of the Beaver Valley Area Beekeepers Association as well as the Pennsylvania State Beekeepers Association. He takes an active role mentoring new beekeepers and is one of the instructors for the Burgh Bees new beekeepers course that will begin in April and meet monthly through December 2009.
