The Happy Bee Farm
Certified-organic honey from the Finnish countryside.
About our apiary
Welcome to our little place of heaven on earth.
Our apiary is tucked away on the outskirts of Orimattila — far from traffic, industry, and pollution. Here, our bees forage across sun-kissed meadows, wildflowers, herbs, and wild berry bushes, with deep forests just beyond. It's the kind of land that makes honey taste like the place it came from.
Fresh, organic honey —
straight from our hives to your table.
Our honey is more than just a product. It's a labour of love in harmony with nature, nurtured by us and our hardworking bees. Every jar is harvested using sustainable, organic practises that respect our pollinators and the land they live on.
Certified organic by the Finnish Food Authority (Ruokavirasto) and inspected annually — so you know exactly what's in the jar, and how it got there.
Introducing Hive Share
A unique gift for yourself, or your loved ones.
You can still buy our pre-bottled jars any time. But with Hive Share, you go a step further — and own a piece of your very own beehive for a full season.
A private WhatsApp circle
Photos and short videos straight from the apiary, all season long — so you always know where your honey is coming from.
Behind the scenes
Follow the rhythm of the seasons and the quiet craft of keeping bees — the small daily moments and the bigger milestones along the way.
Learn as you go
By the end of the season, you'll come away knowing a lot more about the fascinating lives of honeybees — and feeling more connected to the hive that made your jar.
How does it work?
Multiple hives are divided into 20 equal parts, or shares.
Buy one or more shares as an individual or a company. You become the official shareholder of that hive for one full season.
Get regular updates about your hive.
From late March to September, you'll get regular photo and video updates in a private WhatsApp group — We take you on a journey to discover the fascinating world of honeybees. We show you what they do, how they do it and why they do it. You´ll get updates on hive inspections and the routines required to take care of our little flying allies.
Harvest time!
In September we harvest. The honey from participating hives is divided equally amongst shareholders. Pick yours up at the farm, or we'll post it to you.
Minimum guaranteed harvest: 1.5 kg of honey per share — or your money back.
But that's not all.
In addition to your freshly harvested honey, you'll also get a free guided tour of our apiary.
Available with 2+ shares. Visitors must be 16 or older. Hive openings depend on weather and bee wellbeing.
As a shareholder, you'll spend a morning with us at the apiary — opening a hive, carrying out an inspection, and seeing your bees at work in real life. (Conditions apply, see FAQ)
And you can bring 2 friends or family along.

small apiary trying to make a difference
Bees keep our world growing — yet their numbers are falling fast, driven by habitat loss, pesticides, climate change and disease. That's a serious threat to biodiversity and global food security.
By becoming a shareholder, you're helping us expand our apiary, so we can support local farmers and the wider ecosystem.
Beekeeper numbers are dwindling too. We want to launch introductory beekeeping programmes around the world, to inspire and educate the next generation of beekeepers.
Your support as a shareholder funds that work — and helps us stand up for our hardworking allies.
Little by little, bee by bee.
How much does it cost?
There's a share for everyone — For those who enjoy a drizzle in their morning tea to the fanatic home-brewers and serious cooks. Pick the option that fits you best.
