Hott Apiary
New Market, Virginia has a honey scene you can actually taste. Hott Apiary, led by Mike Hott, turns the Shenandoah Valley into every jar with a depth that comes from real beekeeping know how. His honey carries a true local character, the kind of rich, floral notes you notice as soon as the cap pops. Beyond honey, the line extends to skincare made from honey and essential oils, simple, soothing products that feel good on the skin, not gimmicky. From New Market to Harrisonburg, Virginia tastings at farmers markets and in the Harrisonburg shop let you talk bees with Mike. You can drop by the new Harrisonburg location at 900 North Liberty Street to chat with Mike, stock up, and watch the bees in action. Virginia bees, Virginia flavor, and a keeper who makes you want to slow down and taste the season.
