About BEEZ Hives N Honey
The Beekeeper Behind BEEZ
BEEZ Hives N Honey was founded by Peter Somers in 2012 as a specialty honey shop called The Honey Stop. What started as a passion for truly local, raw honey has grown into Salt Lake City's premier beekeeper-owned supply shop.
Peter is deeply connected to the SLC beekeeping community — working alongside Salt Lake County's apiary inspector and serving Utah beekeepers at every skill level. He brings real expertise, not just retail knowledge.
BEEZ continues to feature truly local raw honey produced in backyards and small apiaries along the Wasatch Front — propolis, pollen, and beeswax too.
“Rather than overwhelm, this is designed to strengthen. The idea is to keep it simple with a solid start.”— Peter Somers
