At Rogue Farms, we have the honor of carrying on the ancient art of beekeeping. Since 2012, our honeybees have pollinated and collected nectar from our marionberry, pumpkin, cucumber, lavender and Revolution Garden blossoms. They forage on our neighboring hazelnut, apple, plum and pear blossoms. These flavors capture the terroir of the farm to create the proprietary honey used in our Honey Kolsch.

Fun fact -

There are three members of a honey bee colony: Queen: Mother to all the bees in the colony. She is a fertile female. Worker: An infertile female that performs the labor tasks of the colony including feed preparation; guarding the hive; feeding the queen, drones and brood; and heating and cooling the hive.

Drone: The male that starts out as an unfertilized egg. Its only purpose in the colony is to mate with a virgin queen. They live to mate with the queen, but only one in a thousand get the opportunity to mate.
