Bonnie Ryker, the owner of Taylors Honey Farm, has been beekeeping for 16 years. She gleaned her time-honored beekeeping practices from a gentleman considered to be the Grandfather of Western Washington beekeeping. By working at his side and under his tutelage for 15 years, she has come to understand the complexities of beekeeping in our contemporary environment.

Bonnie 'works' her bees the traditional way. By moving her hives 'crop to crop', from the thistle and yellow clover fields of Southwestern Washington to the fireweed and blueberries fields of the Bald Mountains, she sources the cleanest nectar and pollen available for her bees. An herbalist and environmentalist at heart, Bonnie cares deeply about the current condition of the bee population. She is doing most everything possible to increase the local population of apis mellifica (the western honeybee) while providing clean, high quality, raw, local honey and raw honey products with integrity.

Taylors Honey Farm takes no short cuts, uses no middlemen, no heating, no processing, no sugar beets, no sugar syrups, and no flow hives. The use of chemical herbicides and pesticides are not considered acceptable practices. All the gathering, extracting and bottling is done by hand, the old-fashioned way. Taylors Honey Farm offers one of the purest lines of local raw honey and honey products available in Western Washington. Real local raw honey and pollen straight from the bees to you.
