Grammer Honey Company is a family owned and operated business, located in West Central Alabama. With our main office located in McCalla, Alabama and our farm in Aliceville, Alabama, we serve beekeepers far and wide.
There is great joy and peace to be had in the practice of keeping bees. What starts as a hobby for some, it is a lifelong passion for the lucky few who choose to be guardians to the honeybees and their honey.
It started in the family, back in the 1970s when Mom and Dad Grammer began keeping bees as a hobby. While some might view soft buzzing in the backyard as a nuisance, all of the Grammer children grew up with honey bees as a normal part of their lives.

Before planning a trip to our neck of the woods, give us a call to schedule an appointment to pick up your honey bees. You can also call ahead to order some local honey!
