A Honey of an Idea! with Brent Wesley, Founder and CEO, Akron Honey Company.

Wednesday, March 13, 2019
As a citizen of Akron, Wesley began buying blighted vacant lots and transforming them into apiaries all around the city. When people began hearing of his varietal urban honey and passion for creating a better city, they began searching for ways to get their own jar of urban gold. At that moment, Wesley named the jars "Akron Honey", and his business took flight. Beginning with a passion to develop his neighborhood, a vacant city lot, and some honeybees, Wesley harvests his local urban honey to create incredible foods. Come hear Wesley’s story and what all the buzz is about!
