American Honey Company works at educating people about the uses for honey, the nutritional value honey and gives people the opportunity to purchase honey at a fair market price. We treat our customers like friends, we work hard to get their business and even harder to keep it. In 1998 I met my commercial beekeeping partner from Hettinger, ND, located in the southwest corner of North Dakota. 1999 I started to work the fields with him. He taught me the beauty of nature along with his beekeeping profession and I became more interested in what he was doing than what I was. He gave me 6 beehives for a gift and I became a licensed hobby beekeeper in 2000. I then joined Pride of Dakota, an organization by the State Agriculture Department that assists businesses in marketing and promoting North Dakota Products. I assisted with extracting the honey and as a hobby I started to bottle honey in different containers, attend food and craft shows and continued to help my partner in the field. I continued to work in my profession as registered nurse but was not experiencing the rewards of being outside and experimenting with the honey, types of containers, labeling, candles, soaps, lotions, and promoting our healthy, pure Dakota honey. In July of 2001, I started American Honey Company. I became a member of the North Dakota Beekeepers Association. I also help educate children across the state of North Dakota by helping with the Living Ag Classroom in Minot, Williston, Fargo and Bismarck every year. At the present time I have 18 hives and together we run 1200 hives in the southwest and west central parts of North Dakota, and the northwest corner of South Dakota. The bees gather nectar from the fields of clover and alfalfa. During the winter the bees are moved to California where they are used for pollination in the almond orchards.
