ABOUT US
For Bee Lovers, By Bee Lovers
Koltuk’s Honey is a family-owned and operated business driven by a deep passion for bees and the pure, raw honey they produce. Our journey into beekeeping started with an admiration for these fascinating creatures and their crucial role in the environment. Over the years, this passion has transformed into a commitment to providing high-quality, unprocessed honey while upholding sustainable and ethical beekeeping practices.
We firmly believe that pure is always best, which is why our honey is raw, unfiltered, and never heated or processed. We ensure that our honey remains exactly as nature intended—full of natural enzymes, antioxidants, and beneficial properties.
Our goal is simple: To provide our customers with honey that is not only delicious but also rich in nutrients and straight from the hive to your home.

OUR FOUNDER
When I was a child, I used to watch my grandfather care for his bees in his apiary in Moldova. His love and dedication to beekeeping, combined with my appreciation for the incredible qualities of honey, inspired me to follow in his footsteps.
One of my greatest concerns has always been the worldwide decline of bee populations. That concern became one of the driving forces behind my journey into beekeeping. What began as a passion eventually grew into a family business in 1994.
What started with just a few colonies soon grew into hundreds of beehives and a unique line of high-quality, natural honey products. Our journey began in Moldova, continued in a small village in Ukraine, and eventually brought us to New York, New Jersey, and Long Island.
At KOLTUK'S HONEY, we share an unwavering passion for the wonderful world of bees. We care deeply for our buzzing friends and are proud to do our part to support healthy bee populations while bringing our customers delicious, natural honey. We've been keeping our buzzing friends busy, doing our part to make the world a sweeter and more sustainable place!
From our bees to your table — with love, tradition, and a passion that began in 1994.
