• Green Hive Apiary - As a local beekeeper I care for honeybee hives in the South Liberty Wells neighborhood here in Salt Lake City. The honey is raw and unfiltered, which means that it has not been heated and contains pollen the bees collected from flowering plants – perfect for treating allergies.
