Two Hives Honey

Raw, unfiltered honey, hive tours, and beekeeping education from a woman- and veteran-owned honey ranch.

Two Hives Honey is a woman-owned and veteran-owned honey and beekeeping company founded by Tara Chapman, a former CIA officer who left federal service to pursue beekeeping. What began as two neighborhood hives and Meetup-group tours has grown into a full honey ranch with a shop, tours, classes, and a beekeeping apprenticeship program. We produce raw, unfiltered honey and also carry honey from other Texas beekeepers, along with infused honeys, comb honey, beeswax products, and beekeeping equipment. Beyond honey, we offer public and private hive tours, hands-on honey harvest experiences, honey sensory workshops, and a Kids Nature Club. Our apprenticeship program has guided hundreds of new beekeepers through 55+ hours of instruction over the past decade. We also sell live bees, nucs, and beekeeping gear for those starting their own hives.

Two Hives Honey manages all of its hives in-house, and the guiding principle is that bees come first, honey second. The business is committed to natural, sustainable beekeeping practices and support for native bees. Honey is produced raw and unfiltered. The 5-acre Honey Ranch headquarters features an apiary situated among fruiting trees, and hive tours are capped at 12 participants to ensure a genuinely hands-on experience with a professional beekeeper.
