It was a new experience for me to buy local honey from an actual beekeeper rather than purchasing it from a health store. I was excited to try something local in the neighborhood. What a pleasant experience! The five star reviewers and customers have hit all the marks about Andre. He is prompt with responding to emails and filling orders. Andre takes pride in his product and business and he even followed up with me via email to make sure the honey tasted good (and it did). Definitely buying from him again! Thank you, Andre! read more

Delicious honey and it's collected right here where I live.

I use honey to help with allergies in spring, so I have tried many different kinds of honey over the years. This one is my favorite based on taste, color and locality. read more

My local Alameda honey from Twin Bee Apiaries is delicious. Glad I get the notices as this makes a special holiday treat for gifts and baking too. Andre the beekeeper adopts local backyards for his hives. Appreciate how he is creating a bee friendly place for bees too! YUMMY! read more

I'm thrilled that I discovered Twin Bee Apiaries and Andre, who is super knowledgeable at maintaining healthy hives, which benefits all of us customers. It's delicious, healthy and local honey. What more can you ask for. I'm grateful that, in moving to Alameda, we found such a great guy. read more

I have been buying honey from Andre for over three years now. Love the taste, have tried other honies but have always preferred Andre's.

I love the great Bee's wax candles! Wonderful color and smell, and a SWEET gift as well :) read more

This is the best honey we have ever had. We are now having some almost every morning on yogurt or toast.

Have been buying TwinBee Honey for over 5 years. Love the taste. Have bought local honey from grocery stores, but my kids will not eat that, they wait for TwinBee honey. read more

I love giving this honey away as little gifts for people. I get the best feedback from them. The honey is truly terrific.

Local honey is the way to go if you want to reap the health benefits it can offer. This honey is really tasty. It is well packaged and the owners are very friendly. I have purchased on two separate occasions now and I can't wait for more! read more

Really love Andre's honey! His honey is collected locally and some of his hives are literally in my neighborhood. It helps me and my family stay healthy plus is good to eat / cook with. He is also good about letting you know when he has new honey being harvested. Such good stuff read more

This honey is the best. And that comes from someone who doesn't like honey. I have allergies and I know that local honey can help. I am also semi-Paleo so I use alot of honey in my cooking. The flavor is mild and the color is nice. We went through our first two jars pretty quickly and will stock up again. read more

Andre's honey is super yummy and it's great to go local! He really loves his bees and engaging creatively with the community to make a tasty product. read more

Have gone through several jars of honey from Twin Bee. Flavorful and delicious, and Andre is so easy to do business with! I'm always on the lookout for a fresh batch. read more

Andre is adorable and so accommodating. I was in desperate need for some high quality honey for my cheese plate on Thanksgiving and he gladly welcomed me over so I could score some honey early in the morning. I will definitely be ordering more when the honey season arrives. Thanks Andre!!! The honey was a hit at the party! read more

Excellent honey! Very tasty and much more flavorful than store-bought.

I'm not usually a food fanatic, but this honey is totally fantastic. The taste and texture is unmatched compared to other local honey and the trip to Alameda to pick this up is totally worth it! Thank you Andre for your expertise! read more

If you ever have the pleasure of meeting Andre, proprietor of Twin Bee Apiaries, and furthermore the pleasure of following him to his beehives dispersed all over Alameda, you'll get knowledgeable about the important work of bees for our environment, about how beneficial honey is to us and what an expert beekeeper Andre is. The first time I tasted Andre's delicious honey, I ran out to get freshly baked bread from the local bakery. It just called for it and what a treat it is every time! I find his honey to be perfect in taste, color and consistency. It's available in four different size jars - quarter pint, half pint, pint & quart - and it's reasonably priced. I've enjoyed pints of honey from Andre after summer and fall harvests and highly recommend it. I appreciate his professional, yet personable conduct and I'm thankful that we have him right here in Alameda. read more

We're hooked. Bought this honey at the 2013 Holiday Fest at Temple Israel and are now loyal customers. We don't want honey from anyone else. Really great tasting. Great at Rosh Hashanah and in hot tea when feeling under the weather. Get on his distribution list! read more

Great honey! Glad to support local beekeepers and the local honey bees!

My sister is an Alameda resident and she warned me about this delicious honey!!! Boy oh boy is it good! The only problem I have is that it's the only honey I like now!! It tastes so different from what I usually buy and for some time though was good honey. Next time I'm in town--I wanna go visit the guy cranking out this stuff. I'm curious to learn more about it! For now I'll just enjoy the jar my sister gave me!!! Really quality honey! Easily five stars! read more

I love buying my honey from Andre! This is a VERY local business: honey that is made by the bees of Alameda. A beautiful product, and very friendly, personal service. Keepin' it local and small. read more

I grew up with bee hives so honey is close to my heart. These days I don't have the time to keep bees myself but love being able to get fresh, local, natural honey from Andre, a few blocks from my house. read more

It's great to get fresh delicious honey from a local source! He is very knowledgeable about the production of honey and bees and has super customer service to boot! read more

OH, so yummy. We have purchased both in jars and on the comb, and it's always lovely.

Love Andre's honey!!! It's local and it tastes great. I purchased a jar from Andre some time back and now I am a regular. This is the best honey we've ever had. It has a nice flowery taste. read more

Love Andre's honey!!! Always buy the biggest jar and when we run out we can't wait to get more. It tastes sooo good and the best part is he's a neighbor so our flowers look amazing too! read more

I have been getting honey from Twin Bee Apiaries for several year. The taste is light and sunny. It has a sweetness that doesn't overpower. Honey eaten daily helps with allergies, since the bees collect pollen from our local flowers. No other honey will do. Andre sends an email when the honey will be ready. You place an order and tell him when you will pick it up. ai like the neighborly feel of trading local. read more

Customer service is just as important as the product a company sells. Not only does Andre have really good honey, he's super fast with his communication. I spoke with him over the phone as well and he's super cool. Will definitely continue to buy honey from here, and don't hesitate to recommend them. read more

delicious local honey! liquid gold!

I love getting the health benefits of local raw honey and supporting a hometown small business. Best of all, the flavor is quite noticeably superior to store-bought. I thought I would buy a jar as a one-time treat, but after tasting it, our family is hooked. read more

Absolutely delicious honey. I'm no expert in describing a honey taste experience, but there's definitely a lot going on in your mouth with this honey. Beautiful color and lovely thickness too. Fantastic service; very easy to work with. I was new to Twin Bees this year and can highly recommend Andre and his honey! read more

I love getting honey and candles from Twin Bee. Always a good experience and always really yummy honey...... The best!

Just terrific! I've been purchasing honey (and assorted goodies) from Twin Bees for almost 10 years now - there is such a big difference in flavorless mass-produced honey compared to the wonderfulness that Andre extracts from his worker bees. In addition to that, he's prompt, professional, and courteous in the extreme. Looking for locally sourced, terrific honey? You've found it! read more

Good honey provider. Local bees and raw honey. Been using Twin Bee Apiaries a couple years now. Consistent product.

I was hooked after first jar! The honey has much better flavor than those generic store version. The taste and color of the honey also reflect the blossoms throughout the year. Definitely a worthy bonus to feel better connected with local landscape and seasons. Will continue to order next year! read more

It's local and it tastes great. I give my son a teaspoon (sometimes it ends up being a tablespoon bc he loves it so much) a day for allergies. If you have not tried this, try it! It totally works- from sneezy, runny nose to nothing. The best medicine! read more

Fabulous honey and Andre does a great job. We are so fortunate we are to have Twin Bees.

The taste of Andre's honey and the care he takes make this first rate. Once you have tried local honey you can't go back to store bought. Also, being around the corner doesn't hurt either. Transactions are super easy and convenient. read more
