Founded in 2024 after four years of hobby beekeeping, Carey Apiary was born from Patrick Carey’s passion for bees and his discovery of a thriving local honey market. Patrick pursued his Master Beekeeper certification through the University of Florida to turn his passion into a professional, sustainable apiary.

Located on 5 acres of rehabilitated farmland in Frankford, Delaware, Carey Apiary is proud to be Sussex County’s premier honey farm, providing raw, local honey to fill the gap in the regional market.

In addition to honey production, Carey Apiary specializes in eco-friendly honey bee removals, as well as non-honey bee stinging insect removals. Through our partnership with HollisterStier Allergy Laboratory, some removals contribute to venom extraction for life-saving allergy research and treatments.

Whether you’re interested in honey, a hive rental, or safe insect removal, Patrick Carey is ready to help—contact us today to discuss your needs.
