We keep bees in Stanwood and bottle what they make — unheated, strained, and never blended with anything else. One ingredient, one harvest a year, sold by the jar.
Everything on this page comes from a single pull, so the color and flavor are specific to this year — next year's will be its own thing. When it's gone, it's gone until the next harvest.

A full pint of this year's honey, bottled by hand in Stanwood — unheated, strained, and nothing else added. The 2026 harvest filled about 100 jars.
The Honey Engineer is a small operation in Stanwood, Washington. Beekeeping here goes back three generations — my father keeps bees, and his grandfather kept bees before him.
There's one harvest a year, and the bees come first. Whatever the hive needs to get through the winter stays on the hive; we bottle what's left over. That's the whole reason there's a single harvest instead of a standing inventory — some years the surplus is generous, some years it isn't.
Everything is bottled by hand. Nothing is ultra-filtered and nothing is blended with honey from somewhere else, so what's in the jar is what the bees made this year. Raw honey crystallizes eventually — that's a sign it's real, not a defect. Set the jar in warm water and it comes right back.
Both are arranged by email or text.
Pickup is in Stanwood, any time of year.
Delivery around the Puget Sound region is offered case by case — we confirm each one first, and fit it in when we're already making the trip.
If we add farmers' markets or local shops, they'll be listed here.
Return one of our jars from a previous order and we'll take $1 off your next one. Mention it when you email or text, and we'll work it into the total.
It needs to be clean and undamaged — hot soapy water is plenty. A jar that's chipped or cracked can't be refilled, so those we can't take back. Lids are welcome but not required.
Tell us what you want and we'll reply with a total and a time to hand it over.
