Welcome to T&W Apiaries LLC. We are located in Labadie, MO. Up on a ridge just south of the Missouri River valley. We consist of basically three yards located in Franklin County in Missouri. We produce honey and pure 100% beeswax candles with no fragrances or dyes added. We hand pour each candle.
I started beekeeping when my father-in-law decided it was time to retire and was looking for someone to take over his bee operation. He was located in Jackson, Missouri and the hives had to be moved to Labadie, MO and surrounding areas in Franklin county. At first I admit I was a little reluctant but now I am hooked on keeping bees.
The irony is that I am extremely allergic to the bee stings but I carry an Epi-Pen with me in case of emergencies because it isn’t "am I going to get stung" it is more like how many times am I going to get stung.
I am a member of the Missouri State Beekeepers Association and Recording Secretary of the Missouri Valley Beekeepers Association. My full time job is shoeing horses. What a choice. Do you want to get kicked or stung and I hope for neither but things happen.
I hope to use this site to help educate people wanting to get into beekeeping as well as to sell my products. Beekeeping can be a very rewarding and exciting hobby or you can make it a business. If you have any questions about beekeeping feel free to contact me and hopefully I will have an answer for you. Hope you enjoy our page.
