"Effectively Marketing Your Honey to Stand
Out From the Crowd"

If you are interested in selling your honey, either at the hyper-local level to neighbors and friends—or to a larger audience, Bobby and Mac’s story is compelling. Their insights will help you navigate how you can sell your honey and find a unique point of difference.

Bobby and Mac’s friendship spans 17 years. 5 or 6 years ago they each found their way into beekeeping on their own. Since then, they have united to create Bobbee MacBee’s Honey. They have taken top awards at the Georgia Beekeepers Association’s Honey Show, have created a successful brand through smart, thoughtful marketing decisions, and have supported beekeeping by their mindful stewardship of honey bees and continued education to their local community.
