Sequim Bee Farm was created by Buddy and Meg Depew in 2014.
Our love of bees began 25 years ago, when a swarm of bees landed on our truck in Seattle. We called a local beekeeper to remove them, and we were fascinated by the process. An interest in honeybees was sparked, but it was not until we moved to the beautiful community of Sequim that we were able to realize our dream.
After several years as honeybee hobbyists, we finally decided to grow our love of “the girls” (the bees!) into a cottage business.
Sequim Bee Farm’s mission is to promote and protect honeybee health and welfare. We believe that the backyard beekeeper will be the guardian of the species.
Our goal is to increase the availability of locally produced honey and bee products to our friends and neighbors on the North Olympic Peninsula -- while continuously prioritizing the wellbeing of our girls!
