Become a Hive Host

You can have your very own hive of bees that we look after with our Hive Host Program.

Hello! My name Justin and I'm the founder and owner of Queen's Orders Honey.

Our main apiary (bee yard) is located in Huntersville, right on the Charlotte and Huntersville border as well as another, smaller apiary closer to Mount Holly in Charlotte.
