Babe's Bee Farm is located at Historic Allis Ranch in Larkspur, Colorado. We began keeping bees for several reasons, but primarily our passion is agriculture. Bees not only help promote vegetation growth including grass for the cattle, all our fruits and veggies, and the trees for shade, but they give us the blessed health giving honey!!!!
Our honey is produced by our lovely lady bees right here in Colorado. We do all our bottling and labeling right here on the ranch. We'd be more than happy to show you our hives.
Anyone can say words like"local", "Raw", or "Pure", but don't take anyone's word for it.... See the hives for yourself!
