Hidden Happiness Bee Farm

This place is worth the stop!

We have been road tripping and when we saw the billboard we thought it might be cool.

H.S. greeted us warmly and was very kind. He toured us around, showed us his queen bee in an inside hive. He is very knowledgeable and very passionate about what he does.

The place is very cute and clean, including bathrooms. For people local, or just very serious about bees and bee keeping, he does classes!

They have a honey tasting bar for honey, vinegar, butters, and sauces. They have everything from bee keeping supplies to honey products to wax products to candies and t-shirts. Prices aren't bad either!

There is a decent lot for parking and a beautiful overview with a spot for pictures.

"Let's create a buzz so others will follow!"

We stopped briefly at the bee festival (Oct 14) since we had a little one. Great place - we purchased their delicious honey apple spice butter and things from other vendors. Great place to visit. The festival had live music, food, etc so that’s a bonus if you’re in town at that time. We’ll definitely be back the next time we are in the area.

HS, his family, and staff welcome everyone with great knowledge and happiness. All their honey and products are great quality! I would recommend everyone to checkout this gem of a place!

Our impromptu stop at the Hidden Happiness Bee Farm was definitely one of the highlights of our weekend mountain trip. The service was friendly, the shop was well stocked and different varieties of honey were delicious too. I would recommend you visit and buy some honey too.

A must stop in the area. Not much signage, but 1 mile off the main road and you can enjoy all kinds of honey harvested on site. Jams and butters. And a great host.

As its namesake states, don’t let its “hidden” location deter you from experiencing “happiness” at this special place. It’s nestled in nature about a mile down a side road off 421, and is well worth a day trip to meet the owner H.S. Greene and buy some of his raw honey. In a world that wants to sell you pharmaceuticals, that only seem to treat the symptoms. I have been amazed at the findings of (root cause) healing while researching nature’s medicine: Honey. Mr. Greene and I are kindred spirits, in that while he was sharing his immense knowledge of bees, nature, and life itself; he agreed that there are aspects about honey that even a 100 years from now, we as a civilization will still not fully understand. So do yourself and your loved ones a favor and go shake hands with the only pharmacist you’ll need.

PS Thank you so much for filling that jar of mesquite. Romans 8:31. I’ll be seeing you soon when my “prescription” is due to refill.

If you are coming home from Boone or just out and about. This is a great stop. The owner is one of the nicest people I've ever met. The honey is out of this world, also they have an awesome woodworks side as well. Cool selection of pottery and candy's too.

Very quaint shop filled with all things bee related, including necessary supplies to become a bee keeper, classes, and a small ice cream area. Take pictures on the oversized bench against a beautiful mountain backdrop. This little shop has so much to offer for a different experience than a usual mall store experience. 3 minutes from the 421 access to the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Highly recommend stopping in, learning a bit about how important pollinators are to the food chain, grab some ice cream, soak in the view, and visit the gift shop, stocked by local artisans and craftswo/men. Don't forget to check out the annual Honeybee Festival!!

This is where I get my honey. Love the Sourwood and Mesquite honey. Also enjoy learning about honey bees.

Great visit! Honey tasting, education & locally created items. Thank you HS 👍🏻

We stopped into this little store during a weekend trip to Boone. The owner was super friendly and offered great insight and information about his bees. He even allowed us to see his personal hives. We sampled the honey and it was all delicious. We highly recommend the sourwood! Ask about his custom furniture warehouse in the back. Really pretty woodwork. We look forward to stopping in again the next time we visit.

Had a great visit and tour yesterday with Mr Green

Very fun store with a honey tasting bar! There's also a cool panel in the back where you can see into a live beehive. As someone who is a bit scared of bees, this experience was very comfortable for me as well.

Nice place, owner is very knowledgeable and can teach every thing about beekeeping. He also sells honey, candles, mead and more.

Nice little place. Lots of neat Honey Bee related wares. Honey and education. Very personable

Well worth a visit! We found Mr Greene very knowledgeable and friendly, his store has both beekeeping supplies and a fantastic little gift shop. The store is less than a mile off the highway and is filled with honey, candies, ornaments, unique bee related deco, pure beeswax candles (the best quality candles you can buy!) and more. There is an observation hive that you can see from right inside the store and Mr Greene even offers beekeeping classes in a professional setting. Stop on by, you wont regret it 😊

Wonderful little place! The owners were incredibly informative and friendly. It was really cool to see the hive on display! Yummy samples and honey! Worth the stop in with the family.

This place is honestly a hidden gem. I went there just because it was on the way back home, and it was pretty surprising! The main person there showed us all through his bee farm, and he has over 40 colonies of bees! There's a ton and I'd definitely recommend to go there. You can taste test the honeys there, and just look around! It's a good place to visit.

1st annual Bee festival and it was great. Pretty sure it exceeding expectations as the parking got very crowded. Good vendors and music. Kids had a good time and a lot of knowledgeable people on beekeeping. Makes me want to start up a hive!
