Our Story
We didn’t go looking for the bees.
They found us first.
Our first hive was supposed to be a squirrel house. It was a summer workshop project, built mostly for the pleasure of spending an afternoon together. The squirrels never claimed it. Over the years, nearly every other creature in Michigan did.
Then a wild swarm moved in.
That summer, our garden came alive. Zucchini and squash stretched past their rows. Pumpkins appeared faster than we could count them. The fruit trees bent under their own weight. Even a butternut squash and a zucchini found each other and made something no seed packet could have prepared us for.
We stopped calling it luck and started keeping bees. Mother and daughter, one frame at a time.
The first honey we pulled ruined us for the kind that comes in a plastic bear. But honey that good deserves better than a permanent spot at the back of the cupboard.
That’s how NectarFusions began.
We started pairing Michigan honey with real ingredients to make flavors worth reaching for every day. Stirred into morning coffee. Drizzled over warm biscuits. Set next to a sharp cheese. Eaten straight off the spoon, if we’re being honest.
At the heart of every jar is carefully sourced Michigan honey, strained rather than filtered, so it keeps the character of the hive and the place it came from.
