Black Hammock Bee Farms
In Oviedo, Florida, Tupelo honey is the star at Black Hammock Bee Farms, a working apiary where Dennis and Beth keep a handful of hives and share their craft with the public. Their Tupelo stands out with a delicate, buttery sweetness and a clean finish that lingers, easy to spot in tastings here on the farm. The shop in Oviedo sells their own honey and beekeeping gear, and visitors love sampling a variety and chatting with the couple about bees. The real draw, though, is the education: Beekeeper 101, hands-on hive time, homeschool field trips, and kid-friendly programs that make beekeeping feel doable for beginners and exciting for enthusiasts. You can buy honey and gear right at the on-site retail store. Dennis and Beth are generous with their knowledge and their time, turning a visit into a memorable, family-friendly afternoon in Florida that keeps people coming back for classes and more honey.
