Local. Raw. Pure.

Where can you find the richest, purest Wisconsin honey? Deep in the tree-lined hills and clover-covered hollers of Wisconsin’s Driftless Region, at Sawmill Creek Apiaries.

A Passion for Pollinators

What started as a backyard hobby turned into a conservation effort for honeybees in Wisconsin’s Driftless Region.

Hive Survival

Many northern state average only 50 percent hive survival rate. At Sawmill Creek Apiaries, about 65 percent of our hives thrive.

Pollinator Paradise

From spring through summer, our 20-acre wooded paradise is a hotspot of biodiversity for our pollinators to explore.

Hybrid Excellence

Drawing on academic expertise from nearby universities, we’re continuously introducing heartier hybrid queens.

“If you’re at all intrigued about nature, beekeeping is an amazing hobby that makes you more aware of your natural surroundings.”
