Our Story

Where Sage
meets the Prairie

Rooted in the pine-edged meadows of Cold Spring, Minnesota, Sage & Pine Apiary was born from a love of the land and a five year old girl named Sage.

Apiary Photo
2026 Est. Cold Spring MN

Named for her. Built for her future.

Sage is five years old. She loves the outdoors, she is curious about everything, and one day this apiary will be hers. Sage & Pine Apiary was built with that promise in mind — a small honey farm dedicated entirely to her, designed to grow alongside her, and intended to be passed on when she is ready to take the reins.

Every jar of Prairie Sage Honey carries her name. Every hive we build, every colony we winter through, every frame of honey we harvest is one more step toward something she will one day call her own.

Our apiary sits at the edge of a pine grove in Cold Spring, Minnesota. The hives are surrounded by wildflowers, goldenrod, and the same prairie sage that gives our honey its name. Everything is raw, unfiltered, and harvested by hand. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just real honey — made with love, for Sage.

The Bees & How We Work

How Prairie Sage
Honey Is Made

From nuc installation in April to the final harvest in late summer — every step at Sage & Pine Apiary is done by hand with care for the bees first.


We run four Langstroth 10-frame hives inside an electric fence enclosure. The bees are never treated with antibiotics. Our Varroa mite management program uses only registered, bee-safe treatments timed to protect the winter colony.


In winter, all four hives are paired under custom Foamular insulation covers built right here on the property to keep Minnesota's bees alive through the coldest months.

01

Spring — Nuc Installation

Late April into early May, new nucleus colonies arrive and are installed into prepared 10-frame hives loaded with drawn comb and honey frames from the previous season.

02

Summer — Colony Growth

Through May and June the colonies expand across the brood boxes. Once 8 of 10 frames are covered, honey supers are added above a queen excluder for harvest.

03

Late Summer — Harvest

Frames that are 80% or more capped with white beeswax are removed and extracted by hand. Only fully cured honey leaves the apiary.

04

Fall & Winter — Preparation

Colonies are fed, Varroa-treated, and winterized under paired Foamular NGX insulation covers. Every colony must be strong and mite-free before the snow falls.
