Grimes Apiary

Grimes Apiary is a three-generation, family-run beekeeping operation founded in 1981 by Donald Grimes, who attended the Worcester County Beekeepers Association bee school and purchased his first hive as an agricultural hobby. What began as a single hive has grown into a multi-hive apiary producing raw wildflower honey and a full range of bee-derived goods. Products include raw and creamed honey in several sizes, honeybee pollen, honey-filled candy, beeswax blocks, hand cream, and lip balm. Grimes describes its approach as "from hive, to bottle, to you," keeping the process entirely in-house. Honey and other products are available at select local retailers, seasonal farmers markets, and through direct phone or text orders for pickup or shipment.
