May Farms, LLC is dedicated to the enhancement and promotion of knowledge of the Apis Mellifera - the Honey Bee.   Located on 65 acres of land in Greenville County, we manage approximately 40 colonies of bees, with a major emphasis placed on educating the general public about this vital pollinator. Continuing education classes are presented at Furman OLLI and Furman Learning For You Programs. May Farms, LLC is a mentor for many in the art and science of managing honey bees. In addition, there are on-site apiary classes on many beekeeping activities, including Hive Management and Queen Bee Breeding.  Our newest addition is a Hive Leasing and Consultation Program – for more information please contact us at the email address below.

Additionally, May Farms, LLC manages several blueberry orchards and offers their delicious fruit to the public at the TD Saturday Market, sponsored by the City of Greenville, SC. Honey, pollen, bees wax candles, hive wooden ware, and many specialty vegetables, such as garlic are featured. Educating our young people is a focus at the Greenville Saturday Market with a honey bee Observation Hive.

**Private presentations can also be scheduled for local school groups and other youth organizations.
