OUR STORY
Family-Owned Business
Scott McKane is the Founder and Owner of McKane Apiaries. In 2010 he became interested in owning bees, and after attending a beginners beekeeping class Jan 2011, he started his journey of becoming a beekeeper. As his adoration and admiration for honeybees grew, so did his number of hives. In three years he was up to 55 hives, had started doing colony removals from structures, swarm relocations, crop pollination, and beehive sales. In 2019 he traveled to Europe to research beekeeping techniques in Slovenia and Germany.
