For more than 8 years, Nate’s Honey has been the #1 branded honey in the U.S., and now we’re proud to share Nate’s Hives is officially the #1 beekeeper in the U.S.

Nate’s Hives has grown to more than 6 billion honey bees and 120,000 buzzing colonies. We have more than 100 passionate beekeepers working together at 10 apiary sites across the country caring for our honey bees and Nate’s Honey.

How did we reach this incredible milestone? Nate’s Hives was built upon trusted beekeeper relationships with a vision to expand our trusted hive-to-table honey approach, boost U.S. honey production and make an impact beyond the bottle.

By becoming the largest beekeeper in the country, Nate’s Hives can combine local expertise from generations of beekeepers with investments in science and innovation that can transform beekeeping – making real progress to strengthen honey bee health, improve sustainable beekeeping practices and ensure access to 100% pure honey.

But we couldn’t have done it without Nate’s Honey fans. Your support and trust in Nate’s Honey have allowed us to pursue a greater impact than just selling honey (albeit the highest-quality, best-tasting honey!). Thank you for loving Nate’s Honey as much as we do. We can’t wait to share all the exciting updates for years to come.

For us at Nate’s Honey, the holiday season is all about connection, care and giving back. This year, we’re proud to support families across the country with donations to five incredible food banks:

  • Tarrant Area Food Bank in Fort Worth, Tex.
  • Kids’ Meals Inc. in Houston
  • Central Pennsylvania Food Bank in Harrisburg, Penn.
  • Food Lifeline in Seattle
  • Maryland Food Bank in Baltimore

At Nate’s, every little bit counts. Whether it’s a bottle of honey or a box of honey minis, our goal with product donations is simple: help families gain access to nourishing food and bring a little extra hope and comfort. Through Honey Gives Hope, we’re honored to partner with organizations making a real difference in communities nationwide. From local food banks to larger nonprofit networks, these partnerships help us reach more families and spread more sweetness where it’s needed most.

Earlier in 2025, we donated nearly 10,000 pounds of honey to food banks for the winter, summer and back-to-school seasons. Combined with other product donations and financial support to nearly 10 nonprofit organizations, these efforts reflect our ongoing commitment to giving back and supporting communities year-round.

Through Honey Gives Hope, we’re proud to support Breakthrough T1D and its mission to help make everyday life with type 1 diabetes better through research and advocacy.

This year, Nate’s contributed to Breakthrough T1D Walk events in Dallas and Detroit, continuing a sweet three-year tradition of supporting Breakthrough T1D and the important work they do for people living with type 1 diabetes. The walks bring together families, friends and supporters from across the country to raise awareness, share stories and fuel progress toward life-changing cures.

In addition to financial support, we donated Nate’s Honey Minis, perfect on-the-go energy and an all-natural option for those managing type 1 diabetes. Honey can be a helpful solution for managing type 1 diabetes, as described in the blog Snack Ideas for Treating Low Blood Sugar.”

Through Honey Gives Hope, we partner with organizations doing meaningful work in their communities. We’re grateful to work alongside groups, like Breakthrough T1D, that are dedicated to bringing hope and healing to families every day. Every contribution, big or small, adds up to a sweeter, stronger community for everyone.
