JaysBees

Jay’s Bees is a family-run apiary in Rockvale, Tennessee, serving Rutherford County and the wider Middle Tennessee community. Led by UT Certified Master Beekeepers Jason and Katie Stiltner, the business focuses on caring for honey bees, supporting pollinators, and sharing the benefits of beekeeping. Its products include pure honey, honey-infused beard wax, and beeswax lotion bars, bringing the natural products of the hive into everyday use.

Beyond its store, Jay’s Bees offers safe honey bee swarm capture and relocation, helping colonies find new homes rather than being treated as pests. The apiary also provides pollination services, with professional hive placement, management, health monitoring, and consultation for farms and crops. For schools, homeschool groups, and community organizations, it delivers educational presentations with demonstrations, learning materials, and interactive activities. Aspiring beekeepers can receive mentoring and hands-on guidance in sustainable practices and hive management. Jay’s Bees also shares seasonal beekeeping updates and tips, and invites the community to report swarms and learn more about bees.
