All natural, raw honey includes enzymes, pollen, vitamins, & antioxidants providing unique nutritional benefits, enhanced through organically-based beekeeping methods.
Bottling the first jars of 2022 honey…
The full Spring-Summer blend of ‘wildflower’ honey is now available. I truly believe that the reason so many of our customers proclaim that MRH honey is “the best that I have ever tasted” is due to our practice of only harvesting one time—at the end of summer. The result is a ‘full bouquet’ of all the various flower nectars that the bees collected during the whole season.
Another aspect of MRH honey is that it is ‘single origin’ (a popular marketing phrase these days:-). But we actually do get ALL of our honey from our own honeybee colonies (typically ~25) right here on our Noblesville property where they freely roam on our 10-acres and the adjacent Stony Creek watershed. Our bees avoid needless pesticide/herbicide contact from commercial farming and thereby enjoy a relatively ‘organic’ forage area. And we do not use any hive treatments or medications that could affect honey purity and taste.
NEW THIS YEAR — Buy your favorite PINT glass jars in quantities of FOUR (‘4-pack’) and get a discount ($12.50 per jar).
We greatly appreciate your support of MRH and helping us all “Save the Bees”:-)!
Well it’s been a pretty traumatic year so far for us humans but the honeybees could not care less! They have been collectively working hard and totally ignoring the concept of social distancing. A good, average-sized hive has about 60,000 bees all doing their instinctive busy work so crowding is the norm and is generally an indication of a strong and healthy hive.
This past Spring we consolidated all of our hives to our Noblesville location. It’s kind of a ‘mixed-use’ neighborhood — we’re 5 minutes from the downtown square yet we still have quite a bit of natural area (especially along the Stony Creek corridor) for the bees to forage. A couple years ago we planted 1500 native wildflower plugs and also seeded several areas here to ensure that they wouldn’t need to go to far for nectar. With the reasonable amount of rainfall this Spring and Summer we had blooms pretty much all season. And we always embrace the appearance of clover and dandelions as a valuable and beautiful resource!
If you are new to Mill Run Honey you may not know that our honey label ‘tagline’ is “Just the Way the Bees Make it”. We follow organic-based strategies in managing our hives and our land to minimize any impurities that might affect the health of the bees or the quality of the honey and beeswax they share with us.
Here in September we may still get a late batch of Goldenrod Honey but otherwise the bulk of our 2020 honey crop has been gleaned (with plenty left for the bees’ Winter food). We look forward to filling those jars to fulfill the orders that you place with us — Thanks for your loyal patronage!
Also — Don’t forget that we make wonderful products with beeswax! As Winter sets in, the natural goodness of pure beeswax skin/lip care as well as long-burning, air-cleansing candles can brighten even the darkest of days!
Bee safe y’all!!!

There are two opportunities this year to shop in-person and pick out some extra holiday gifts for you or the ones you love. We have some additional treats for sale not on the website, for example a variety of 100% beeswax candles, and lots of ideas for work and school gifts, as well as stocking stuffers! As always, we are open to doing something different if you have a special request for gift bags/boxes.
This year we will be at the Carmel Green Gift Shop, Wednesday Nov 14th, 1:30-7PM, at the Carmel Clay Library.
We will also be hosting our Holiday Open House on Saturday Nov 24th, 1-5PM, at our house, 2106 Greenfield Avenue, Noblesville. Come out and celebrate Small Business Saturday and support the bees and local businesses in Noblesville and Fishers!
Hope to see you this Holiday season!
As of July 1 we've depleted our 2017 honey inventory but we anticipate that this year's harvest will be ready by mid to late August. Please check our website or call us around that time to stock up on the latest pure, all-natural honey -- Just the way the bees make it :-)!
I have a full supply again to fill your orders. All container sizes are available…
