Bee Local produces micro-batch honey from hives placed in urban neighborhoods, yielding distinct varieties whose flavors reflect their neighborhood origins. The company focuses on honey that is rich in pollen and nutrients, produced through sustainable beekeeping practices, and it educates the public about beekeeping. Based in Portland, Oregon, it operates in the food and beverage manufacturing sector as a small, community-oriented producer. Beyond making honey, Bee Local engages with the regional beekeeping community as a mentor in the Master Beekeepers Program, a founding member of the Portland Urban Beekeepers group, and a host of an urban beekeeping class. Its activities connect urban residents with neighborhood-specific honey and offer hands-on education about beekeeping, reflecting involvement in local urban agriculture networks.
