Barters Island Bees
Raw honey
Barters Island Bees is a small family honey farm on Barters Island in Boothbay, Maine, selling raw unfiltered honey, Maine Mousse creamed honey, hot honey and beeswax candles.
Barters Island Bees is a small honey farm run by Donna and Denny Denniston from Boothbay, Maine.
The honey is raw and natural, produced right there on Barters Island, and the business gives back as it grows, supporting environmental causes and a local organisation working to reduce hunger in Lincoln County, Maine.
The range includes natural raw honey, Bee Stinger hot honey, beeswax candles and gift baskets, along with Maine Mousse creamed honeys in flavours such as blueberry lemon, gentle ginger, cinnamon and orange cranberry. Everything is sold through the online shop for delivery rather than at a farm gate.

I love honey!! We stayed in Edgecomb and got to meet the lovely business woman who runs this place with her husband. They process the honey at this storefront (it smells so sweet!) and their bees are on Barters Island. Everything in the store is sourced from Maine: ) We also got to taste the honeys before we bought some. The cinnamon flavor and the blueberry lemon flavor were soooo good.

So much more than honey! I stopped in to get some delicious honey and found the shop filled with beautiful Maine crafted products. A fantastic place to get a souvenir for yourself, or a gift for a friend back home who's been watering your plants while you're in Maine: ) Definitely worth a stop on your way in and/or out of Boothbay.
