I had surgery not long ago, five of stitches opened leaving a huge hole. Doctors were unable to stitch back due to lack of skin. I been using raw honey for it. I arrived to Harrisonburg for work (3 hours away from home) and I realized I left the honey at home. I goggle and found Knapp's Bees, LLC. I called the phone number and Mr. Tom was able to help me. He is very friendly, knowledgeable, and very passionate about nature and 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 (bees). He sells raw/pure honey 🍯. Thanks to you and your business, I am able to continue with my treatment, you literally are a life savior! Please support local business.( I bought two yards) When I am in town again, I will go back and buy more 🍯.

I called Knapp?s Bees LLC on Oct.20,2022 about a small swarm on ground. Tom and his wife came out they were very informative and a joy to have a conversation with. The girls had their queen well protected and they are now happy at the Bee-mans care. And their honey is very good also. I would recommend them anytime.

I emailed Tom to see if we could stop by for a tour and he responded quickly. He was flexible with our arrival time and was incredibly generous. He shared so much information with my son who is new to beekeeping, and patiently answered all of our questions. His passion for bees was unmistakable, and the wisdom and knowledge shared was greatly appreciated. We purchased jars of delicious honey and honeycomb. What a wonderful experience. Thank you, again, Tom. Best to you and your family.

So, working in my yard today I heard this familiar sound it was very loud as if a motor was running in the middle of my yard. I looked up and the site was beautiful!!! Their was thousands of bees swarming, brought back memories of my father when he would catch bees in our fruit trees and put them in his bee boxes to make honey. I watched for about 15 min and they formed a hive in my blooming cherry tree. I called Knapps Bee?s, remembering reading they would come and remove bees from your property. Tom answered and within the hour he was in my back yard. What a site , what a lesson!! He explained things about their habitat, what he would do and how they would respond. They loved my blooming cherry tree what a beautiful experience having Tom come and rescue them. I would recommend his service and will call him again if they visit again! He gave me a sample of Knapps honey and it was sooooo good in my tea after working in the yard this evening. Thank you Knapps Bee?s

After leaving the farmer's market today, we drove home to find Jaelyn's car covered in a thick hive of bees. Not knowing what to do about the situation, we called Knapp's Bees. Shortly after the phone call, Tom and Kristin came to the rescue. It took an hour and some change to get all these honeybees in a safe place. During this time, Tom and Kristin took the time to talk to my friends and I and educate us on bees. Tom would bring us certain types of bees and told us how we could differentiate them from the others as well as what they did in their community. It was overall an extremely pleasant and fun experience. They even brought us a jar of their own honey from their bees back home!

Knapps Bees has great tasting, raw, unfiltered honey! My whole family enjoys it! I also love the education Knapps Bees provides every time I stop by with the kids. Highly recommend this local honey!?

We rented two hives from Tom to help with pollination of our organic blueberry patch. He was excellent to work with! He brought the hives out quickly, set them up, and even provided a beekeeping lesson for family and neighbors! He is a great communicator and was an excellent teacher (and we had great pollination too!). I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Mr. Knapp advised us on the best way to protect our home from future bee hives, as well as what to do to clean out the one that the bees absconded. We are very appreciative of his time and expertise and will definitely follow his recommendations.

Mr. Tom Knapp provided a sample of the most delicious honey when he came to take care of our bee issue. I will never buy honey at stores again you can tell the quality difference almost immediately. Thank you so much for caring for the bees.

Tom was extremely helpful in relocating a hive from a large Walnut tree near a playground in one of our parks. This hive gave us troubles for years. We could not find another bee keeper in the area that could give us sound advice until Tom contacted us.

Tom was very professional and has extensive knowledge in this subject. He even spent time near the playground educating the public.

The temporary hive that he placed in the tree worked well and the hive was completely removed. Tom volunteered all of his time and effort to help our Parks. I Thank him for his service. Jeremy Harold - Superintendent of Parks.

Tom was extremely responsive and quick to setup a consult at my house. He was professional, provided terrific advice, and gave me a quick Bee 101 course, which was much appreciative. Should we ever find ourselves with a swarm or unwanted bees, I will absolutely give Tom another call.

I use honey for sore throats...a "hot toddy" made with Knapp's Bees is the best cure for colds, stuffy nose and sore throats. It amazes me how the flavors differ ... depending on the bees diet and it's always tasty and naturally sweet!

Knapp's Honey is fantastic! I have a salad dressing recipe (my ultimate favorite) that calls for honey, I used Knapp's Honey and although I thought it not possible, the dressing tasted so much better! You want a quality local product; get your honey from Knapp's Bees!

Forget about buying honey at a store again! This honey is the real thing! And, something else, I am no doctor, but being someone who's had honey in her daily diet for 15 years now, I can testify to this: do yourself a favor and include honey in your daily life, to improve your energy, for it's antioxidants, and to kiss colds good-byes, between other things! No vaccines needed, no garbage.... just plain and pure honey made by thousands of happy bees! :-)

I've been using honey from Knapp's bees for over a year. Every year I make about 25 trays of baklava for parties and to use as Christmas gifts for friends and colleaugues. Knapp's honey is about the best honey I've ever used for quality, flavor and texture.

I'd recommend Knapp's Bees Honey to all with no hesitation. It's first class.

You will never find a honey in the store that is as good as this or as good for you! I have used it in my home for cooking and it was amazing. I have also used it as gift for family members and they loved it!!!

I have used Knapp's Bees honey both in my own home and have purchased it for friends and family as gifts. My mom and grandmother in Kentucky were thrilled to receive the delicious local treat and made me promise to bring more home with me next time I visit. For my part, I have purchased honey from several local sellers at the Harrisonburg Farmers' Market and I think Knapp's Bees is among the very best in the area. It tastes wonderful and remains clear in the jar. It looks as good as it tastes! Wonderful product right here in town!
