Foragers
Older worker bees leave the hive to visit flowers, sipping nectar and carrying it home in a special "honey stomach." Along the way they pollinate the plants they visit.

Our Honey
Straight From the Hive
One honey. One jar you’ll reach for again and again. Here is what makes it worth the buzz.
Signature honey
Wright's Signature Honey
One honey, made the way bees have always made it — gathered from the blossoms around our hives and jarred with care.
We keep things beautifully simple. There is just one honey at Wright's Honeybees: the honey our bees make, in the season they make it. No blends from far away, no long list of varieties — just the real thing.
Every jar reflects what the bees were visiting that season, so the color and flavor may vary a little from batch to batch. We think that is part of the charm.

Meet the Bees
Tiny workers. Enormous talent.
A single honeybee makes only a small fraction of a teaspoon of honey in her lifetime. The jar on your table is the shared work of thousands of bees and millions of flower visits.
The waggle dance
When a forager finds a good patch of flowers, she returns and dances in a figure-eight. The angle and length of her dance tell her sisters which direction to fly and how far.
House bees
Younger bees receive the nectar, pass it mouth-to-mouth, and add enzymes that begin turning the sugars into honey. Then they tuck it into wax cells.
Fanning
Nectar is mostly water. Bees fan their wings over the open cells until enough moisture evaporates, then seal each cell with a cap of fresh wax.
From Flower to Honey
The sweetest journey in nature
Step 1: Flowers & nectar
Blossoms offer a sugary nectar to attract pollinators. Different flowers bloom through the seasons, and each lends its own subtle color and flavor to the honey.
Step 2: Bees gather
Forager bees visit hundreds of flowers on each trip, collecting nectar and pollen. They fly back to the hive to hand off their harvest.
Step 3: Inside the hive
House bees add enzymes, spread the nectar through the comb, and fan it until it thickens into honey. Once ready, each cell is capped with wax.
Step 4: Harvest & jar
When frames of capped honey are ready, the beekeeper removes the wax caps, lets the honey flow from the comb, and fills jars for you to enjoy.
Our Story
Third-generation beekeeping
I'm a third-generation beekeeper. My grandfather kept bees here in the Las Vegas Valley back in the 1950s.
When I was in high school, I started eating a lot of honey for the health benefits. My grandfather heard about it and bought me two beehives. In short order I was up to ten hives.
Five years later, I manage and maintain more than 100 beehives. They are in southwest, central, and northwest Las Vegas, and also in Kolob, Utah, Hurricane, Utah, and Alamo, Nevada.
Where the hives are
- Southwest Las Vegas
- Central Las Vegas
- Northwest Las Vegas
- Kolob, Utah
- Hurricane, Utah
- Alamo, Nevada
Third generation
