Overview
Northeast Florida apiary offering raw varietal honey, creamed honey, beeswax candles, and beekeeping supplies.
Bee Friends Farm is a Jacksonville apiary founded in 2013 by beekeeper Michael Leach, with Christie Leach, a third-generation beekeeper, playing a central role in the operation. The farm produces small-batch raw liquid honey in Florida varietals including Wildflower, Orange Blossom, Gallberry, Tupelo, Black Mangrove, and Saw Palmetto. It also offers raw creamed honey in multiple flavors, beeswax candles, specialty items, and honey gift sets. A retail store on Edgewood Avenue in the Murray Hill neighborhood carries the full product range and stocks beekeeping supplies, woodenware, and educational books. Bee Friends Farm also sells spring bee nucleus colonies for new and established beekeepers. Learn more on their About Page.
Bee Friends Farm operates as a migratory apiary, moving hives to fields and farms across Northeast Florida to support pollination across different bloom seasons. Beekeepers work hands-on with every hive, applying what the farm describes as sustainable methods focused on maintaining healthy colonies and supporting local pollinators. Hive health is stated as the primary priority, with the team continuously seeking ways to strengthen colony welfare. Michael Leach leads a hands-on mentoring program through the Jacksonville Beekeeping Association, and Christie Leach brings honeybee education into schools through dedicated classroom sessions. The farm also runs a honey fundraiser program for schools.
