🐝 Our Story – Wild Honey Bee Farm 🍯
Rooted in family. Fueled by bees. Buzzing with purpose.
At Wild Honey Bee Farm, our journey began with Grandpa Delbert—born in 1948 in Dodgeville, Wisconsin, and full of dreams. In 1981, he and Grandma Barbara moved to Umatilla, Florida, with one goal: to build a beekeeping business from the ground up. And they did.
I grew up surrounded by bees, honeycombs, and the smell of wax melting in the kitchen. As a kid, I had no clue those days would shape my future. When we lost Grandpa suddenly during my middle school years, the hives went silent—but the seed had been planted.
Years later, at 18, I took a job at the same honey-packing company that once bought Grandpa’s honey. That’s when it clicked: it was time to bring the family farm back to life. With Grandma’s support (and her treasure trove of Grandpa’s old equipment), I bought a few hives and got to work. Local beekeepers who remembered Grandpa helped guide me—and step by step, the dream came alive again.
My dad, James, joined me after retiring from the military. We dove into migratory pollination, traveling across states to pollinate crops. But eventually, I knew I wanted to be home with my family—and with the bees.
Back in Umatilla, I teamed up with Scott Campbell, a friend from church who quickly became a natural in the bee yard. Now we run the farm together, keeping things simple and honest—just like Grandpa would’ve wanted.
We produce raw, unfiltered honey, beeswax products, and bees for sale. We’re proud to carry on this legacy—rooted in hard work, family, and a whole lot of buzzing.
