About Our Beekeepers

We’re Glenn and Sue Scott, the family behind Honey in the Hollow Bee Farm. We began keeping bees in 2018, and what started with a love for bees has grown into a small family business built around good honey and the people who enjoy it.

We’re proud of the ribbons our honey has earned at local fairs and the Pennsylvania Farm Show, but the conversations we have with customers mean just as much to us.

We believe you should know the people behind your food. That’s why we’re happy to answer questions, share a little bee knowledge, and tell you how your honey made its way from hive to jar. We plan to stay small enough to keep doing that personally.

Our daughter, Kimberly, makes our beeswax skin care products. Each of us has a part in what you bring home. Whether you’ve bought from us for years or are trying our honey for the first time, we’re glad you’re here.

Our Process at a Glance

View below as our beekeeper, Glenn, explains the extraction process for our natural honey.

You can see the droplets of pure honey accumulate on the sitde of the extractor.

03.

We strain, not filter, to remove the large pieces of wax, thus maintaining the natural integrity of the honey.

04.

Bottling is the final step in the process before our pure honey comes to your home.

The lotion bars are delightful - very moisturizing but surprisingly light and not greasy.  I was SUPER impressed at how quickly the order arrived. Will definitely be a repeat customer. ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The business was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. The product is amazing and has the best flavor. Award winning honey for a reason. I will be back for all my honey. For new people here is a good test on how to know beyond taste if it's real honey. Some you can do on the spot. To test honey's purity at home, you can perform simple tests like the water test (where pure honey settles at the bottom and dissolves slowly), the thumb test (where pure honey stays in place and doesn't spread), and the vinegar test (where pure honey doesn't foam when mixed with vinegar). Here's a breakdown of the tests: Water Test: Place a spoonful of honey in a glass of water. Pure honey will settle at the bottom and dissolve slowly, while adulterated honey will dissolve quickly or form a cloudy residue. Thumb Test: Place a small drop of honey on your thumb. Observe whether it stays in place or spreads out. Real honey is thick and will stay in place, whereas fake honey will spread out or run off your thumb. Vinegar Test: Add a few drops of honey to a solution of vinegar and water. If the mixture starts to foam, it might indicate impurities or adulterants. Flame Test: Dip a cotton swab into the honey and then hold it over a lit match or lighter. If the honey ignites easily and burns quickly, it may contain additives or be watered down. Authentic honey should burn slowly and not ignite easily. Blot Test: Put a few drops of honey on a blotting paper. If the honey is absorbed or leaves a wet mark on the paper, it may indicate adulteration. Heat Test: Gently heat a small quantity of honey. Pure honey will caramelize, taking on a golden hue and releasing a delightful aroma. In contrast, impure or adulterated honey tends to burn or emit a burnt odor when heated.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came across the lotion bars by Honey in the Hollow Bee Farm at a local gift shop. It was love at first use! Since then, I have come to love their honey products (try the Smokin’ Hot one) just as much as the lotion bars and other beeswax products. You won’t be disappointed with the quality or taste!
