Raw honey from our treatment-free Lovejoy apiary. Handmade crafts from reclaimed materials. Carpenter bee traps, squirrel tables, honey straws, and things that are hard to categorize. Everything here has a story and a source you can trace.
“Where every product has a story — and most of them start on four acres and a creek in Lovejoy.”
The origin
Before it was cool.
I was taught never to let anything go to waste. My father was an engineer who believed everything can be fixed — it may not be factory-spec, but it will be corrected and functional. That got baked in early.
Long before repurposing was a lifestyle brand, it was just how things got done here. My old pool deck became a rocking horse. Tires from the property became fence posts. Construction bin lumber became furniture. Nothing leaves without a second life if we can help it.
In 2020, my wife Melody and I bought four acres and a creek in Lovejoy and started building something real. The bees came first. Then the garden. Then the crafts, the traps, the tables, the honey straws — and the honey house is still going up.
“Community honey. That’s what the neighbors started calling it after a storm took the hives down and the whole street showed up.”
PSP isn’t a brand built on aesthetics. It’s a homestead operation that produces real things, from real materials, by real people with real stakes. That’s not marketing. That’s just what it is.
What we make
Current lineup.
Honey
Raw Honey — Pure & Natural
Single-source, treatment-free, straight from our Lovejoy apiary. Glass skep jars. $15. Limited by season and yield — when it’s gone, it’s gone until the next flow.
Pure honey in a straw — portable, shareable, and gone before you know it. Multiple flavors. Great for kids, hikers, and anyone who needs a quick hit of something real.
Previous inventory, one-of-a-kind pieces, and custom commissions. Painted crafts, mosaic work, laser engraving, water transfer. If it’s not in the shop, ask.
Going into our sixth season. Treatment-free from day one.
We run our apiary the way we run everything else — minimal intervention, local survivor genetics, and as little interference as possible. The bees know what they’re doing. Our job is to stay out of the way and pay attention.
No treatments. No weekly inspections. No commercial inputs. Powdered sugar, diatomaceous earth, mite boards, and patience. Walk-away splits using local genetics instead of purchased queens. The honey goes into glass skep jars — the oldest form in beekeeping — because that felt right.
No Treatments
Treatment-free from the start. Natural management only.
Local Genetics
Walk-away splits. Survivor stock. No purchased queens.
Minimal Inspections
We read queen signs, not frames. Less disruption, stronger colonies.
Single Source
Every jar traces back to one apiary. Four acres. Lovejoy, Georgia.
Community honey
The neighbors named it.
After a storm knocked the hives down, a neighbor called Crane Hardware looking for us to let us know. The whole street showed up. That’s when the name stuck. Community honey isn’t a tagline — it’s what actually happened, and it’s still the spirit behind every jar.
The pink lids were Melody’s idea, timed for Juneteenth. Flowers and bees. It made complete sense. Better than single-use plastic bears — that much we know for certain.
Inventory is seasonal and limited. We don’t manufacture at scale. What the bees make is what we have. When it’s gone, it’s gone until the next flow. That’s not a scarcity tactic. That’s just beekeeping.
