Our bees are fortunate to be located in agricultural areas owned and leased by University of Maryland, surrounded by abundant flowering trees, pollinator friendly plants, crops, and cover crops. All proceeds from our honey sales go directly back to helping fund our research, extension and outreach work throughout Maryland and help cover expenses for caring for our bees! Be it for yourself or for a friend, UMD Honey is a gift that keeps on giving. More About Our Honey! Our honey is produced from research colonies located on campus and at the Central Maryland Research and Education Center (CMREC) - Beltsville farm. Colonies are utilized each year for honey bee health, epidemiological and best management research to inform both local and national beekeeping practices. Some of these apiaries are used specifically for extension and teaching, capitalizing on our expertise to share and engage with the strong community of Maryland beekeepers and interest groups. Honey bees are a vital agricultural component and the only managed pollinator in the US. More than 100 important crops are pollinated by honey bees. Honey bees forage on pollen and nectar sources around our Maryland farms, enjoying a wide range of wildflowers and flowering trees, which creates a superb and flavorful honey. Important floral sources for our bees include Maple, Tulip Poplar, Black Locust, clover, aster, and goldenrod. To learn more about flowering plants observed near our apiary, click here. All honey sale proceeds directly support our research, extension work, and the bees!
