Denny started with three hives in 2020 and manages the hives across the east side of Barters Island and neighbouring properties.
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.

Wonderful customer service experience. Dana is great.
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.
Great shop for local Maine products and delicious honey. The owner was so nice, taught us a bunch about bees and told us all about all the different honey we tried. Really interesting honey flavors! All the other products they sell are made in Maine by other locals the owners have met at farmers markets, etc. Plenty of free parking (not in busy downtown area).
Wonderful gift shop plus the best honey I have ever had! Worth a stop on your way into or out of Boothbay Harbor. Lots of cool gifts - all from Maine!
Simply the Best! The honey from Barter Island Bees is simply the best! I was never a big honey fan but that has changed since I was gifted my first jar of this delicious raw honey. I drizzle it onto everything…I especially love combining the sweet flavor with spicy dishes. The health benefits of pure, small batch raw honey are numerous. That the beekeepers are so dedicated and committed to improving the environment is a huge bonus. As much as I loved receiving this honey, I love gifting it to friends even more. I’ll be ordering it by the case.
