The Honeybee Shoppe

Manheim, PA


The Honeybee Shoppe was started by Tim Miller and his family not long after he started his first hive in 1994. Tim’s fascination soon developed into a workforce of 500 hives, providing varieties of honey for The Honeybee Shoppe in Manheim, PA. During the summer months, the hives pollinate orchards and crops at over 50 different locations in Lancaster County. By early September, Tim has the hives taken to Tioga County in Northern Central Pennsylvania, where the dense, mountainous forest provides cooler temperatures for the honeybees. Here, the honeybees pollinate wildflowers — particularly goldenrod — to produce their unfiltered Wildflower Honey.
