Fundraisers
Fund Raising Locally!
Are you looking to raise funds for your organization and tired of selling the same old chocolates and cookies? Our honey can be a truly unique fundraising product! We offer fundraising to schools, churches, sports clubs, and organizations looking for an alternative way to raise funds. The process is simple and no minimum order is required. Our honey is a healthy alternative to the sugar/mass produced honey found in stores! And it is more flavorful than store-bought with all the natural enzymes and nutrients just as nature intended.
Once you contact us, we will send you an email package that will include an Individual Order Form for you to print off for each person participating in the fundraising as well as a Master Order Form to tally the final order. Once you have collected all of the Individual Order Forms and money from your group, tally up the Master Order Form and send this back to us with your totals. We will then package up your order and have it ready within 2 weeks for you to distribute. We do not ship. We recommend this to local groups to Lewisburg, PA

Sugar
We sometimes have granulated sugar, fondant, and sugar syrup for sale in bulk and individually at our Lewisburg, PA location only. Sugar can be sold by the super sack or 50lb bags (individually or by the pallet). Please call Davey (570-850-7492) to check to see what is available and pricing. In the warmer months we have sugar syrup available. You can bring your own tote or bucket to fill, or you can purchase a new 5 gallon bucket from us to fill. We also have fondant in 2lb or 5lb patties.
The fondant is HiveAlive and has the following benefits
- Correct dose of HiveAlive liquid incorporated.
- Additional vitamins & amino acids added optimised for bee health.
- HiveAlive added makes the fondant more attractive to the bees, which means faster consumption than most fondant patties.
- Safe, produced using enzymatic hydrolysis without the use of acids or heat processing giving no harmful HMF.
- Very fine particle size sugar for enhanced digestion
- Only European, non-GMO ingredients.
- Very thin and flat packaging to allow ease of placement directly on top of colonies.
- Unique packaging design prevents fondant from drying out.
