Metairie, Louisiana Local Honey
At Galpin Honey Farms, we’re proud to serve the vibrant community of Metairie, Louisiana, with the finest raw honey and top‑quality beekeeping products. Located just a few miles west of downtown New Orleans, Metairie is one of the largest and most vibrant communities in Jefferson Parish and the entire state of Louisiana. With a population of over 140,000 residents, Metairie combines the charm of suburban living with the convenience and culture of being just minutes from the heart of New Orleans.
Whether you’re a Metairie resident looking for delicious, locally produced honey or an experienced beekeeper searching for queens, nucs, swarm traps, or syrup, we have everything you need — straight from our family‑run farm. We believe in providing more than just products — we deliver quality, care, and a connection to nature. For generations, our farm has worked to produce healthy bees, pure honey, and sustainable solutions for beekeepers across southeast Louisiana.
Pure, Local Honey in Metairie, LA
Unlike supermarket honey that’s often overly processed — heated, filtered, and sometimes even blended with syrups — ours is raw and unfiltered. That means it retains all the beneficial enzymes, pollens, and antioxidants that make honey not just a sweet treat, but a wholesome, health‑supporting food. Each jar is packed with the vibrant, floral flavors of Louisiana wildflowers, clover, and the surrounding landscape, offering a unique taste of our region in every spoonful.
For those looking to support local agriculture, improve their well‑being, or simply savor the unmatched taste of authentic honey, Galpin Honey Farms is your trusted source in Metairie. Our wildflower and clover honeys are perfect for drizzling over biscuits, stirring into your morning tea, or even soothing a sore throat. Many of our customers also find our local honey helps ease seasonal allergy symptoms by introducing trace amounts of regional pollen into their diets, helping their bodies adapt.
Queen Bees and Nucleus Colonies in Metairie
If you’re a beekeeper in Metairie, you know how critical it is to maintain strong, healthy colonies that are adapted to our Louisiana climate and seasonal challenges. At Galpin Honey Farms, we provide high‑quality queen bees and nucleus colonies (nucs) to help your apiary succeed year after year.
Our queen bees are carefully bred from proven stock known for excellent productivity, gentle temperament, and strong resistance to common diseases and pests. Each queen is fully mated, healthy, and thoroughly inspected before she leaves our farm, ensuring you get a reliable leader to keep your colony thriving. Because our queens are raised locally, they’re already acclimated to the weather and forage conditions specific to southern Louisiana — giving your hive a better chance at success from day one.
We also offer healthy, fully established nucs, which include a mated queen, workers, drones, brood at all stages, and food stores — all already working together on 4–5 deep frames. Unlike a package of bees, which starts from scratch and takes time to build cohesion, a nuc is a functioning mini‑colony, ready to grow and produce quickly once installed in your hive box. This makes it ideal for both beginners and experienced beekeepers looking for a reliable, head‑start to the season.
Our queens and nucs are raised with the same sustainable practices we use in all of our hives, and we’re here to support you every step of the way — from selecting the right bees to helping you install and care for your new colony. When you choose Galpin Honey Farms, you’re choosing experience, quality, and a commitment to your success as a beekeeper in Metairie.
