Burley Bees was founded in 2013 to share local honeybees and raw honey with CO and NM friends and neighbors. Located in Canon City, CO, this apiary is home to over 140 colonies that produce top-notch wildflower honey. BB specializes in honeybee production, raw honey, and natural beeswax products. They also offer beekeeping classes, guidance, and sell five-frame nucleus colonies and live packages.

Craig Noorlander started keeping bees over 20 years ago in the spring of 2003 and continues expanding his vision for sustainable bee production in NM today. Papa Bear offers nucs, queens and honey, as well as mentorship and beekeeping seminars. Visit his website to read more about his extensive beekeeping experience and storied journey. 

Hand-harvested from the high desert along Tecolote Creek near the Pecos River, Tecabeja Ranch Honey reflects the wild beauty of New Mexico. Our bees gather nectar from Sweet Clover, Apache Plume, and Cane Cholla blooms to create a raw, unfiltered honey that’s floral, bright, and touched with desert spice.

Each jar captures a single season’s bloom — pure, local, and unmistakably artisan.
