Six Generations of
Honey & Heritage
The Bouye family has been keeping bees for six generations. What started with a few hives in the backyard has become a lifelong journey across America.
From Backyard Hives to America's Tables
Brandon Bouye grew up in the bee yards. His father kept bees. His grandfather kept bees. His great-grandfather kept bees. For six generations, the Bouye family has been moving hives across the country — following the bloom, pollinating crops, and harvesting the finest raw honey in America.
American Honey the brand was born from that legacy — a way for everyone to taste the real honey, wear the real merch, and support the real family behind the hives.

What is Migratory Beekeeping?
Migratory beekeeping is the practice of moving honeybee colonies to different locations throughout the year to follow crop bloom cycles and pollination contracts. The Bouye family loads hundreds of hives onto trucks and drives them across state lines — from Florida citrus groves in the spring to California almond orchards in the winter.
This is not just a job — it is a way of life that requires deep knowledge of bee behavior, flower cycles, weather patterns, and the willingness to live on the road for months at a time. The result? Honey that captures the unique character of every flower the bees visit.
Without migratory beekeepers like the Bouyes, crops like almonds, blueberries, cherries, and apples would face devastating yield losses. Every jar of American Honey you buy supports this essential work.
Save the Bees
Bee populations are declining at an alarming rate. The Bouye family is on the front lines — managing healthy hives, educating communities, and advocating for pollinator protection. When you buy American Honey, you support bee health and sustainable beekeeping practices.
