Your guide to peaceful beekeeping and nature’s best honey
BEEKEEPER JOHN GARDNER
Resources
Like with most life endeavors, success requires connection with others including professional organizations, people with years of experience, and people who sell supplies and products that support the industry. Trusted partners make the process more fun and a bit sweeter.
Apiary Hosts
Peaceful Beekeeping could not exist without the welcome we have received from five local farm families to undertake apiculture on their agricultural properties. Shared values, communication, and a respect for the land and animal husbandry is the basis of these relationships.

John would love to hear from you whether you are interested in purchasing some honey, have a concern with a swarm, would like to host some beehives on your property, or simply want to learn more.

ABOUT JOHN
John first tried out beekeeping as a teenager growing up in New England. His love for and interest in beekeeping stayed with him throughout his working years and time raising three children. In retirement, he decided to pick up where he left off years ago, and start a beekeeping business.
Since then, he has expanded his operation to multiple Frederick County farm properties, joined the Frederick County Beekeepers Association, produced honey, and become an educator for both beginners and people interested in maintaining the environment.
John has many other interests including running, particularly trail running, scuba diving, hiking, and spending precious time with his four grandsons.
