Cindy Barclay of Bees on Earth has been making the news lately. She along with her husband Ken have been Albany Beekeepers for 7 years. They sell honey that is made by Albany bees that gather pollen from city parks, boulevards, and gardens. Bees on Earth offers Seasonal honey, whole honeycomb, comb honey, spun honey and raw honey.
In addition to their honey Bees on Earth offers honey dispensers, gift baskets, beeswax tapers and votives, all natural soaps, lotions, lip balms, and sugar scrubs.
Bees on Earth also sells Cindy’s home baked cookies and muffins as well as delicious fair trade coffee----traditionally prepared and iced.
Cindy and Ken are part of a growing community of Urban Beekeepers. They were recently interviewed for an Associated Press article praising the trend as a unique and beneficial relationship for bees, beekeepers and cities.
