GLOUCESTER SEA HIVE

Welcome to The Sea Hive

Rooted in coastal Gloucester and buzzing with purpose, The Sea Hive is a small-scale beekeeping operation creating exceptional, sustainable honey and beeswax products. We’re guided by the rhythms of the seasons, the hum of healthy hives, and a deep respect for the bees that make it all possible.

Whether you’re here for raw, local honey, handcrafted beeswax goods, or to learn more about our journey—thank you for stopping by. You’re part of the hive now.

Who we are

We’re a small, coastal beekeeping project rooted in Gloucester, Massachusetts—where the air smells like salt, the wind has an opinion, and the seasons still matter.

The Gloucester Sea Hive began with a deep respect for pollinators and the slow, deliberate work they do. What started as a response to colony collapse over a decade ago has grown into a commitment to care for bees in a way that honors their role in our ecosystem and our food supply. We’re learning, tending, and building something that reflects the rhythms of this place—quietly, season by season.

This is a space for the Sea Bees and the people who care about them. For honey, wax, and wildflowers. For education, transparency, and the kind of work that doesn’t rush.

We’re not trying to keep up—we’re trying to keep bees.

And that makes all the difference.
