Our family’s work

Built around a respect for the hive.

Sunrise Honey and Bee LLC grew from our family’s love of honey bees and the remarkable work they do. Beekeeping has taught us that every jar represents patient tending, close observation, and countless small trips made by the bees.

We enjoy sharing the harvest with our neighbors and helping people see honey bees with fresh appreciation. From tending the hives to bottling the honey, this is hands-on work that keeps our family connected to the land and to our community.

One more thing

There is something even more wonderful than honeybees.

As amazing as honeybees are, there is something far more important that everyone should know about: the person of Jesus Christ.

Every one of us has sinned, and none of us can earn our way to heaven through good works. God loves us so much that Jesus Christ died in our place and paid the full price for our sins.

“Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”

1 Corinthians 15:3–4

Salvation is God’s free gift. It is received by believing that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and rose again. His finished work is enough.

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

Ephesians 2:8–9
