Our Story

Our story began in 1946 when Joseph L. McCoy purchased a beekeeping business from Garnett Puett, running it successfully with his wife Gloria in Minden City, Michigan for many years. And as they say… the rest is history.


In 1958 Mark McCoy was born. He grew up in that small town learning about the bees and the honey making process alongside his dad and brothers. In 1980, when Mark was 22 years old, he married Elaine Kolar and shortly after they made a pivotal move to Florida, bringing his beekeeping knowledge to the sunshine state.


Mark and Elaine started small with a couple of hives in their backyard and over the years grew to thousands of hives creating a successful family business, always staying dedicated to quality beekeeping along the way.


Through the years the business and the family grew and soon enough the kids became involved working the bees and bottling honey. Today all three kids proudly continue the family legacy of beekeeping and packaging honey. Three generations later, the McCoy family is still delivering the best quality honey straight from the hive to your table!
