About Us

Welcome to our site, we are Alex and Mariah Hunt.

So where did Hunt Honey begin? 13 year old Alex wanted to start a business. He became interested in bees by watching a beekeeper that kept some hives on the Hunt farm. One day, the beekeeper asked Alex if he wanted to go out to the bee yard with him. Alex spent a few hours with him and soon became enthralled with the bees.

Alex then applied for a youth farm loan and started his business. In the fall of 2008, he purchased equipment to build his "honey house". In the spring, he bought his first 20 hives and went commercial. His hive number has reached 140 at one point. He has since been selling lip balm and honey.

 

Alex and I met in 2017 at the University of North Dakota, where we both attended college. I found out that Alex had bees and would record videos of him talking about them. I would post the videos to my social media and called them "Bee Facts". Over the next year, we would run into each other around town and campus, eventually talking about topics aside from bees. We eventually started dating and a few years later got married. 

While I was not around for the inception of Hunt Honey, I am equally as passionate about it. We hope that you love our products.
