About Ebenezer Honey

Ebenezer Honey started as a dream in 2018. Following a tough year where Ryan was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma and completed a stem cell transplant, Ryan and Maureen wanted to do something new and life-giving together. They attended a class, purchased their first Nuc & Package of bees, and have been slowly building and growing the number of hives each year.

In March of 2023 through the mentoring and encouragement of Brian Wentz (Walnut Farm Bees), Ryan and Maureen decided to multiply the number of hives and to try to take things to the next level.

Good friends Chris and Adrienne Walter having a passion for bees and entrepreneurial creativity accepted an invitation to partner in the growth and expansion of Ebenezer Honey. Together we are excited to raise happy, healthy bees!

Why Ebenezer?

Ebenezer comes from the Bible in 1 Samuel 7:12 "Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.”

As a team we are so thankful for everything the Lord has done for us and provided in our lives. We want to hold everything loosely and up as an offering to the Lord. All we have is His and our desire is to honor Him by being good stewards of all we have. Ebenezer Honey is our “stone” that we want to point to the goodness of God.
