Welcome to our Bee Farm

We are located in Vermillion, SD and our little homestead herds bees. At Jovin’s Apiary we focus on improving our ecosystem and local habitat. We are trying our best to support the bees one hive and jar of honey at a time. We hope you will join and support us in this most audacious adventure. We are extremely happy to partner with McCook Lake Izaak Walton League in North Sioux City. The Izaak Walton League's mission overlaps with our commitment to improve our local ecosystem.
