About the Farm

Background

Barndo Honey Co. is known for being the local honey vendor at the Kerrville Farmers Market - Downtown. They also offer a range of products including lotions, soaps, and balms made from honey and wax. Additionally, they provide beehive leasing services throughout Bandera, Medina, Kendall, and Kerr Counties in the Texas Hill Country.

Practices

Utilizing natural beekeeping techniques, Barndo Honey Co. avoids the use of miticides, acids, and other harsh chemicals, believing these substances to be toxic to bees and contaminants to honey. Their honey undergoes only coarse filtering to remove debris such as beeswax and bee parts. They manage hives with respect for the bees, controlling varroa mites through hygienic stock, smaller hive sizes, and managed breaks in the brood cycle. The bees use natural comb, and an enhanced pollinator habitat has been created in their primary bee yard to ensure year-round forage. Honey is harvested responsibly, taking only what each hive can spare.

The Rest

Barndo Honey Co. believes that beekeeping is both an art and a science, and they are dedicated to constantly improving their skills in the challenging environment of the Texas Hill Country.
