Honey
Steveston Stock and Seed Farm is proud to host several bee hives on the property, managed by Blessed Bee Farm, a community supported apiary. The bees are welcome residents on the farm. Our fruit trees (cherry, plum, pear, and several varieties of apple) and our blueberries have never produced so bountifully.
The information below is provided by Blessed Bee Farm. Please contact them directly if you have any questions (contact info at bottom of page).
Blessed Bee Farm – A Community Supported Apiary
Blessed Bee Farm is a new business following the Community Supported Apiculture or CSA model. This is a partnership of mutual commitment in the future of honeybees between the beekeeper and the apiary’s community of supporters. A share supports the apiary throughout the growing season and in return shareholders receive a healthy supply of honey and hive products.

Our Mission
We provide the highest standard of organic bee management to produce a honey unrivalled in flavour and quality. We keep bees ethically to sustain this vital and threatened animal for the future. Our goal is to integrate bees into the urban environment, to engage and educate the public in bee conservation and beekeeping. Our honey is chemical and GE free, unpasteurized and pure, direct from the bees to you. We only harvest the surplus leaving the bees what they need to flourish.
