There's nothing better than fresh honey straight from the hive, especially when that hive is managed by a local. Pigeon Roost Apiary located in Old Towne Olive Branch is your go-to for some of the best award-winning honey you’ve ever tasted. Owner Jennifer Lane-Watson loves her business and the people with whom she interacts every day.
"Our favorite part of owning our business is when someone tells us how much they love our honey or that they received it as a gift. Those comments make all the hard work and the bee stings worth it.”
