Improving the world, One bee at a time

BRADFORD J SIMMONS II, Owner of SMITH MILLS APIARIES INC has been a beekeeper for the last 18 years and is currently studying to become a Master Beekeeper at Cornell University.  He started out as hobby apiarist 18 years ago and has become  one of the top resources for local honey in Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.  Smith Mills Apiaries provides local Queen Rearing, Bee Mentorship, a Boutique Honey Bee Hive Program which is exclusive to Smith Mills Apiaries.  We have started The Hero Hive Program that assists first responders that are  dealing with PTSD through caring and tending to a bee colony of their own. If they don't have space or are unable to have honey bees where they live, they will come with us to one of our bee yards and adopt a hive.
