Stefan’s locally untreated raw honey is by far the best thing I have EVER tasted. He has so much knowledge in what he does and is very welcoming/friendly. I strongly encourage everyone to stop buying honey from retail stores because once you smell and nibble on one of Stefan’s real honey you will never go back. Can’t wait to get my next batch

Seriously, Stefan’s honey is the best honey I’ve ever had. He is incredibly knowledgeable about his bees and genuinely loves them. He said to me, «The bees don’t work for you, you work for the bees. When they harvest only if they have a great harvest do you harvest.» This winter’s honey tastes like pine and flowers, a beautiful clear amber. Not only is his honey awesome, but Stefan himself is a really nice guy. He quickly replied to the message I left on his answering machine and the next day I had myself a glowing pint of honey. He invites you into his beautiful home to see his bees and shows you a variety of glistening honeys from different seasons. This isn’t your typical business transaction. Stefan honestly wants to give to his community and get to know and educate his customers.

A Jar of Honey’s honey is the best I’ve ever had after picking up from countless farmer’s markets around the Bay Area. This is probably the reason he’s always out of stock. Seriously, I don’t think anyone cares more about his bees than Stefan. He’s beyond happy to share his knowledge of beekeeping and how important these insects are to our ecosystem with anyone who wants to learn. A+ dude all the way around.

I’ll admit that I don’t know of any other urban apiaries, but I can’t imagine any of them could top this one! The honey is amazing and the proprietor is charming and knowledgable. Visiting is always a neat experience.

An honest man doing honest work! Local honey can be hard to find but once you have found Stefan there’s no turning back. Not only is his honey delicious but he offers to teach you about bee keeping and the way bees make honey. A perfect lesson to teach children and to show them the appreciation of bees instead of being afraid of them. & If you live in San Jose this is a great natural remedy for allergies! TRUSTME My coffee, tea, toast, yogurt, cereal, even my ice cream isn’t complete until I have a spoon full of this local honey. A pleasure to learn, buy and enjoy honey from this man, I highly highly highly recommend it!

Wether you want to learn about bee keeping and how honey is made or just get some incredible delicious local honey — this is a great place. When its time to extract the honey, the beekeeper Stefan has some open house events several times during the year. We went there last month and he showed the hole process and teaches you all you want to know about bee keeping. He is a very funny guy too, so besides it being very interesting it was also quite entertaining. And of course, the best part is the honey — soooo delicious! I had no idea how much better raw, untreated honey tastes compared to the stuff you get in the store. It was spring and you could literally taste that the honey was mainly from all the citrus trees in the neighborhood.
