Northern New York and Surrounding Areas

Commercial/Industrial - Carthage, NY Complete turnkey bee business in productive honey territory. Listing includes large “honey house” (former grain mill) with all stainless-steel extracting facilities, storage area, garage, and 3-bedroom 1 full bath apartment on the second floor. There is ample additional storage in the adjoining 40’ x 80’ Coverall building with heated shop. The 2.9-acre lot borders the scenic Deer River (complete with a gorgeous waterfall.) The sale also includes 400 hives (on location in Jefferson and Lewis Counties) and all equipment necessary to run them. The owners previously ran up to 1400 hives from this base, and there is plenty of room for expansion back to this level. This has been a successful operation for 42 years with a per hive average annual yield of 90+ pounds. The area has excellent forage sources for nectar and pollen, and the honey produced is light in color and of high quality. There is a very strong demand locally, in both retail and wholesale markets. Owners love the business, but it’s time to retire. If you are seeking to run your own business or expand an existing operation, this is an excellent opportunity!
