Our Story

2017
Holt Hall Apiary is born

I received my very first beehive as a birthday gift in 2017, marking the beginning of my beekeeping journey and creating Holt Hall Apiary's first 9 jars of honey. 

By pure coincidence where I chose to put my first two hives was almost exactly where my Great Great Grandpa (Pictured above) had kept his bees about 80 years ago! 

2019
Australia

In 2019, I traveled to Australia to work on a 3,000-hive farm, gaining invaluable beekeeping experience just before the COVID-19 pandemic. Upon returning home, I expanded Holt Hall Apiary's hive numbers to approximately 100 and built our first honey processing room.

2021
Second honey room built

In 2021, we constructed a second honey processing room to accommodate an increase in production numbers.

2022
First SALSA audit

In 2022, we successfully passed our first SALSA audit and have maintained compliance ever since.

2023
First full time employee - Misha & New production line fitted

In 2023, we proudly hired Misha as our first full-time employee and installed a new production line to keep up with demand.

2024
Largest order ever completed & Honey room 3 built

In January 2024, we completed our largest order ever of 100,000 jars of honey. Additionally, we built Honey Room number three to create more space for honey extraction.

Our commitment to the environment.

Sustainable practices are crucial to our apiary as they ensure the health and longevity of our bee populations. We are committed to supporting biodiversity, and promoting a cleaner, more balanced ecosystem.

At Holt Hall Apiary, we embrace zero waste to landfill by shredding cardboard on-site for packaging and using an electric forklift, ensuring every jar of honey is produced and delivered with minimal environmental impact.
