Worker’s Ransom is a small, woman-owned honey business! All of the beekeeping, extraction, bottling, sales, marketing, and promotion is enjoyed by owner and beekeeper Sarah Meyer of Geneva, NY. Sarah manages 6-10 honeybee hives making honey production and availability fickle due to the nature of the bees, our weather and climate, disease, and rate of sales. Sarah prioritizes honey for the bees first, then for customer enjoyment and sharing. We are proud to provide honey from Geneva and Phelps, NY.
Worker’s Ransom honey is bottled by hand into 12 oz. and 6 oz. clear glass jars with a black lid. Each jar contains single-hive honey, meaning that the honey in your bottle is sourced from a specific hive and hive box (honey super) upon that hive. The honey is never combined or mixed with any other hive boxes from that hive or with any other honey from any other hive or hive location. The additional steps Sarah takes to ensure single-hive honey requires more time, organization, and attention to detail in the honey extraction and bottling stages in order to bring you a flavorful snapshot of when your honey was made by her honeybees. If you’re interested in making a purchase, feel free to reach out to Sarah on Facebook, at workersransom@gmail.com, or contact one of our retail locations.
