Discover the heart and heritage behind Bee Centric Apiary
Welcome to Bee Centric Apiary in Four Oaks, NC
Since 2015, our family has been cultivating something truly special on over 50 acres of land in Four Oaks, North Carolina. What began as a dream has blossomed into a vibrant flower farm, a thriving apiary, and a place where tradition, sustainability, and community come together.
At the heart of our farm stands a historic home built in 1905, crafted from timber harvested right here on the property. This home is more than just a landmark—it’s a symbol of our deep connection to the land and the legacy we’re building for future generations.
Our farm is home to Bee Centric Apiary, a large and carefully managed bee sanctuary where we produce our own brand of delicious, local honey. We also raise bees right on the property and are proud to offer them for sale to our neighbors and fellow bee enthusiasts. One of our greatest passions is sharing our knowledge and helping aspiring beekeepers learn the art and science of caring for bees.
In addition to our bees and flowers, we raise egg-laying chickens, adding to the diversity and sustainability of our farm. With 25 acres dedicated to growing vibrant, seasonal blooms, our fields are a colorful celebration of nature’s beauty.
This is a true family effort. I’m joined by my wife Kathy, our daughters Kamryn and Kaitlyn, and my brothers Ed and Charlie. Together, we work hard to nurture the land, care for our animals, and share the joy of farming with our community.
Whether you’re here to learn about beekeeping, purchase local honey, or simply enjoy the beauty of our flowers, we welcome you to be part of our story.

Our Journey and Heartfelt Traditions
Bee Centric Apiary began as a small family dream nestled in a patchwork of wildflowers. Guided by curiosity and a deep respect for nature. Each season brought new lessons—some sweet, some challenging—but always rewarding.
Our commitment to sustainable beekeeping grew from the belief that every bee and blossom deserves care. We cherish the laughter shared while harvesting honey, the wonder in our children’s eyes as they watch bees work, and the comfort of knowing our honey nourishes local families.
Milestones are measured not just in jars of raw honey, but in the relationships we’ve built. From gifting our first honey bottles to neighbors, friends and family, to mentoring new beekeepers, every step of our journey is rooted in gratitude. We invite you to share in this tradition and taste the love that makes Bee Centric Apiary a thriving part of our community.
