Beekeeping in Indiana Turns Passion into Honey Business | Indianapolis News

Beekeeping in Indiana isn’t just a hobby—it’s a thriving local business and a passion project for folks like Ross Harding, who started with one hive and now manages over 300 across central Indiana. With each hive aiming for 60 pounds of honey, summer’s floral scarcity makes it tough—but planting late-blooming flowers can help. Home-based beekeepers like Ross Williams turn their passion into profit, selling honey from neighborhood stands and sharing the joy of local, handcrafted sweetness. Their “new year” begins in August, focusing on hive health, winter prep, and mite control. Beyond honey, Williams is committed to educating others about bees’ vital roles and environmental stewardship, turning beekeeping into a mission that’s as rewarding as it is hard.
