OWNERS

bee hive, honey comb, our honey jar, honey dipper, and honey bee

Fingerlakes Honey Company is owned and operated by Tom and Stacie Filer and thousands upon thousands of busy honey bees (and sometimes help from our adult children, Caleb (& KIm) and Bailey (& Felix), and other family members). 

Our story began in 2015 when we decided to purchase our first hive. It wasn't always easy, but we learned a lot over the years. Since then, we've worked hard to create a business in the beautiful Fingerlakes region of New York that follows the same values as our family-

ABOUT FINGERLAKES HONEY COMPANY

 Honesty, Integrity, loVe, and Excellence

to remind us of the HIVE at the heart of everything we do.

We take the greatest pride in raising strong hives and producing only the finest Fingerlakes New York 100% raw honey and products from the hive. Our focus has been and always will be on the quality of our beekeeping, our packaging, our customer's experiences, and of course, our honey!

We believe in our bees, honey, and other products so much that if you ever have a question, just look on the label. There you’ll find our contact information. We love to talk about bees and honey, and are available to answer any questions you may have. So give us a buzz. 

We’d love for you to be part of our story too. Below you can Meet the Beekeepers, explore our services, learn with us through our educational programs, or discover how we care for bees through our swarm programs. And of course, don’t forget to taste the sweet results of all that hard work in our “Made by the Bees” and “Made by the Beekeepers” collections.

Pull up a chair, grab a spoonful of honey, and join us on this sweet journey below.

From our hive to your heart, we’re grateful you’re here.

"FROM HIVE TO HEART. THIS IS WHO WE ARE."

Our Bee Promise

 Honey bees are the most prolific honey makers on the planet. We make sure that we only take the surplus honey and beeswax from the hives so that our bees can thrive! If you have any questions about how we collect honey, beeswax, or any of our products, contact us today and we’ll be sure to get back to you!

MEET THE BEEKEEPERS

Tom

(Co-Owner/Head Beekeeper)

The steady, hardworking hand of the hive. Whether he’s building equipment, tending bees, or teaching, Tom is always focused on doing the best for the hive- whether ours' or someone elses. Plus he still works a full-time job.

Caleb & Kim

(Son & Daughter in Love)

Helping hands who lend muscle, humor, and family support when the bees (and parents) need them most. Also taste-testers/guinea pigs for our new product creations.

Deb (aka GS)

(Stacie's Mom)

 Mom's got fresh ideas, a palate that knows what she likes, and encouragement for all. She tests recipes, helps with finding cute bee items, and is our #1 social promoter!

Stacie

(Co-Owner/Queen Bee)

The heart behind the honey. From recipes to writing, she’s the creative spark bringing the hive’s story to life- while also keeping the day-to-day buzzing with sales, marketing, and the business side of the hive.

Bailey & Felix

(Daughter & Son in Love)

Our other hive helpers, always ready to jump in with laughter, strength, and technical help. From lending a hand in the bee yard to sampling every new creation, they keep both the work and the fun flowing

The Bees

(Hard Workers)

The real stars of the show!

They work tirelessly to pollinate, create honey, and remind us daily of the magic of nature. We wouldn't have this beesness without them.
