We are passionate about beekeeping and committed to producing high-quality, unpasteurized, raw, local honey. We take pride in the pure, natural honey we produce.

Our wildflower honey is a sweet and natural product that is harvested straight from our beehives. It is a delicious and versatile ingredient and is available in either glass jars or plastic bottles. It is sourced from the Southern tip of Illinois in Massac County making it local and authentic. We take pride in keeping our honey unpasteurized and raw, ensuring that it retains all of its natural goodness and health benefits. We are a family operated honey farm, which means that every jar of honey is extracted and bottled with love and care. Raw honey is known for its distinct flavor profile, ranging from floral and fruity to earthy and caramel-like. It is also packed with nutrients and antioxidants, making it a healthier alternative to processed sugar. This golden amber honey is not only delightful to taste but also offers numerous health benefits. It can soothe a sore throat, boost the immune system, and provide relief for allergy symptoms. Whether you spread it on toast, drizzle it over pancakes, add to your tea, or use it as a natural sweetener in your recipes, our honey is sure to add a touch of sweetness and flavor to your meals. Experience the pure taste of Southern Illinois with our locally sourced honey.

The honey from Doug's Backyard Bees is absolutely delicious! It has a rich, sweet flavor that is unmatched. I highly recommend it.
