Cardinal Apiaries is your source for delicious local raw honey in Stafford County, Virginia. We are a small, family owned farm dedicated to supplying our friends and neighbors with the best local raw honey Stafford County has to offer. Our bees visit the blossoms all around us to collect nectar, which they turn into a wonderful amber wildflower honey.

Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
I've been selling honey for about six years. I helped my dad with his bees, and I've kept my own bees off and on for 20 years.
What is your primary product or service?
We specialize in providing premium quality raw wildflower honey made in Stafford County
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I am a third generation beekeeper. I got my first colonies about 20 years ago.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We do not sell anything that our bees didn't make, and we do not move our bees from state to state, so the honey comes only from blossoms in Stafford County.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We just expanded our operation this year. We have one location that has plenty of room for future growth.
