Bee News
What Is Buzzing With The Bees
I'm sure you have heard that the honey bee is under significant pressure to live and thrive worldwide. The honey bees are facing a myriad of problems due to parasitic mites, fungal gut infections, viruses and a lack of forage. The past 20 years have been difficult for bees and those that keep bees.
No one is as interested in the survival and health of the honey bee than the United States beekeeper. We here at Fairview Honey are leaders in protecting the bees health inside the hive and outside. Inside we constantly monitor for health and feed issues. We listen to what the bees are telling us, if you listen and watch closely, the bees will tell you what they need. Outside the hive we serve and work with the research community who are working to save the honey bee.
You are a part of the saving of the honey bee when you grant us access to your land for bee placement. Bees are in need of forage for them to survive. When the flowers bloom, bees being nearby greatly enhances the health of the hive. Bees on a good pollen and honey flow are the building blocks for a good healthy hive come winter.
You can also be a part of saving the honey bee when you are purchasing honey. Foreign honey being imported into the United States, (with suspect origins and claims of purity) have driven the price of honey per pound to levels that the United States beekeeper may not be able to afford to keep honey bees. The sustainability of the US beekeeper and thus the honey bee is now in jeopardy, putting pressure on a third of all the food we eat on our plates due to a possible lack of honey bees for pollination. Read the labels when you pick up that jar of honey, check to see if it's 100% U.S. PRODUCED honey and ask the store wherever you buy your honey that they stock brands that are bottling 100% U.S. produced honey.
Thank you to all our land owners, farmers, ranchers who allow our honey bees on your land and to you who buy honey. This small act is helping the honey bee survive.
If you are interested in allowing Fairview Honey to place bees on your land please call Matt Shannon at 406-742-8233 or by email at matt@fairviewhoney.net Matt would be pleased to meet with you and work out a plan for placement. Fairview Honey is fully insured and all employees are trained to keep the bee locations clean and to be professional in all that they do. We are guests on your land and we will act accordingly.

Montana Sweet Clover
Fairview Honey produces a white colored, sweet honey made from clover. We take great pride in keeping our honey pure of any containments by using no medications or supplemental feeds during honey production. Our comb is rotated out as it darkens and we have traceability back to the honey production location. Honey is available in totes or barrels and it is always stored inside our warehouse.
If you are interested in our honey, please call Brock Ashurst at 760-427-0464 for more information.
