The Story Of Barn Again Apiaries

---

 It was Saturday May 10th 2025 I (Matt Gartelman) was running the farm stand as usual and my mom was greeting customers. My mom welcomes 2 ladies and they start talking. Mom called me over to tell me that one of the ladies had a husband who was a beekeeper! The lady called her husband (Brian) to come talk to me. He drove over to the farm stand and we started talking. We exchanged numbers and they all left. Later that day i get a call from Brian and he said “Hey Matt I’m bringing over a hive” he showed up at the farm stand 20 minutes later, with a hive. We brought it to the house and that was the beginning of Barn Again Apiaries! Over the next 4 months we have grown the Apiary to 5 hives and expect a large harvest. We are also one of the only farms on Long Island to keep the Native Kenyan Hive, this hive is rarely used in the North, but we are determined to keep this hive alive! Want to learn more?
