Native forage, crisp mountain air, and wild Colorado blooms. Our apiary in Guffey produces small-batch honey that reflects the unique character of the high country.
"Founded in the high country of Guffey, Colorado, Du-Bees Apiaries is a family-managed homestead project dedicated to the hardy bees that thrive at 8,500 feet."
Managing hives in the Rockies requires patience and a deep respect for the elements. Our mission is to produce small-batch, native-forage honey while documenting the journey of building a sustainable, off-grid life.
Every jar of Du-Bees honey is a reflection of the wild Colorado landscape—from the wild mountain wildflowers to the native shrubs that survive our intense winters. It is high-altitude beekeeping at its purest.
Managing hives at 8,500ft requires a deep understanding of the local climate. Our bees are adapted to the short, intense summers and long winters of Park County.
Our honey is sourced from wild mountain wildflowers and native shrubs, providing a flavor profile that is distinct to the Guffey high country.
Du-Bees is part of a larger vision for an off-grid tiny house build. We believe in giving back to the mountain landscape that sustains us.
