Douglas Farm
NJ Honey and Bees
Introduction
Many people when they hear the word farm they think of a fixed location with a lot of acres. Douglas Farm agricultural activities are conducted at various locations. Our farm operates much like a consulting landscaping service.
Jamais Arriere! - (Never Behind!)
Please note, we presently do not have 'full time staff'. Any product or service desired will be handled when possible during our limited availability.
Our Products
We produce raw, minimally filtered local NJ honey, using the most natural means possible. The beeswax we harvest from our colonies goes to make fine hand-crafted creams, soaps, lip balms, candles and other crafts.
We support and practice chemical free beekeeping: a healthy and sustainable agricultural method. If a colony needs treatment we use spearmint, lemon grass and tea tree essential oils, an all natural treatment. Most years no treatment is needed because we raise our bees from hygienic queens. Our hives are tested & culled for disease, parasite and mite resistance.

Amazon recommendations:
Hive straps a good hive protection for strong winds and can help keep a hive together when it is knocked over by a bear. This makes it difficult for the bear to get into and damage a hive. Here's a good set on Amazon: Everest S1043 Yellow 1" x 15' Standard Ratchet Tie Down, (Pack of 4)
