Raw Honey & Hot Honey Duo - Sweet Heat 2-Pack Gift Set | Small Batch Farm Grown | Lady May

Our honey adventure buzzed to life at The Lady May Restaurant, where our from-scratch kitchen uses nearly 200 pounds of raw honey a month for baking bread, pickling vegetables, and creating our signature dishes. When we discovered our honey was being sourced from Argentina and local supply couldn't meet our demand, we made a bold decision: we'd establish our own bee farm.

Three summers ago, armed with newfound knowledge from a beekeeping class, we set up our first 10 hives in Brookhaven, MS. We stumbled through hilarious mishaps (like the time I wore shorts, dropped a hive, and got stung 12 times while Will filmed the whole ordeal), faced challenges like hive beetles and wax moths, and spent sweltering days in bee suits tending our hives. Our first summer yielded no honey. Last summer, just 8 small jars.

But we persevered, and this summer's harvest made it all worthwhile. After three hot summers tending to our bee hives, we've finally harvested enough honey to sustain our restaurant and market through the end of the year. The future is looking sweet as we expand to our second farm near Ocean Springs with a vision to supply all the honey for our restaurants, May's Market, and our online store.

We wish we could share our fresh honey with Nana and Granny (our grandmothers), but we know they're smiling down as we share our honey and many of their recipes with you.

Experience the best of both worlds with our honey duo: pure raw honey straight from our hives and our signature hot honey infused with red peppers. Both are small-batch, handmade, and crafted with the same care we bring to everything at Lady May.
