In the winter of 2023-24, Michigan experienced unusually mild weather, prompting an early bloom of flowering plants and significant changes in honey bee populations. The apiary expanded rapidly, but faces challenges with honey production and changing seasonal patterns. The growing degree day data indicate a shift, causing disruptions in plant-insect timing. Concern grows for future resource availability.
Firefly Honey is opening pre-orders for its 2024 Seasonal Honey Selection, offering high-quality raw varietal honey from its certified organic farm. With an increase in bee colonies, Firefly focuses on producing unique flavors by collecting honey throughout the season. Orders come in single as wells as three or five jar sampler options.
For the fourth consecutive year, Firefly has sold out of raw honey before the New Year. Heartfel gratitude is extended to supporters for the overwhelming ‘honey love.’ Deep appreciate, thanks, and anticipation for future raw nectar offerings.
Ben and Virginia reflect on two years of farm adventures and growth, from renovating the farmhouse to expanding the apiary and cultivating new crops. Their staycation provided a much-needed break before diving into 2024 with a clearer vision. Balancing challenges and success, they look forward to what the new year holds with hope and excitement.
World Bee Day is a time to appreciate the vital role of bees in our ecosystem. Firefly Honey celebrates by offering pre-orders for their exceptional organic honey. Their focus on high-quality, varietal honey and sustainable agricultural practices sets them apart. Customers can also look forward to new seasonal honey selections and pick-up options.

The 2023 Farmers Market Season brings big changes, with a trimmed schedule and new pickup options. Only one market per month is scheduled, but customers can now pick up orders at the farm, in Delton, and in select townships.
