We’re proud to introduce Bohman Bee Company to the Ideal lineup—a family tradition four generations in the making. What began during WWII when Harry Bohman turned to beekeeping as a solution to sugar rationing has grown into a thriving honey business rooted in resilience and passion. After a 25-year pause due to Colony Collapse Disorder, the Bohman family returned to beekeeping in 2010 and hasn’t looked back. Today, they manage over 200 hives across southern Indiana and deliver raw, local honey to more than 50 stores throughout the Midwest and beyond. Each bottle of Bohman Bee honey reflects the unique seasonal flavors of Indiana's natural landscape, bottled just as the bees made it—pure, raw, and unfiltered.

We’re excited to now carry four of their specialty and raw honeys, including their signature Bourbon Barrel Aged Honey and Hot Honey—perfect for adding bold, natural flavor to your kitchen.
