Our Story
Bee Bomb Honey is an LLC owned and operated by the Olson family, who work in and through Steamboat Springs, Colorado. They started the business at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic and found early success as neighbors and local businesses began buying out their stock every season.
That community support pushed them to grow. Today they keep hives in Steamboat, Hayden, and Denver, each location producing honey with its own distinct character depending on what happens to be blooming nearby.
No chemicals, no shortcuts. Every jar is raw and unfiltered, the way honey is supposed to be.
What We Make
From pure mountain honey to hand-crafted spreads, everything we make starts with our bees and the wildflowers of the Yampa Valley.

From the Hive
From the Field
Every spring, when a hive gets strong enough, the colony splits and the old queen leaves with about half the bees to find a new home. It looks chaotic but it is one of the healthiest things a colony can do. The Olsons have gotten good at catching swarms early before they move on. If you see a big cluster of bees hanging from a tree or fence post around Routt County, there is a good chance it ends up in one of their hives.
Most honey on a grocery store shelf has been heated and filtered until it looks perfectly clear. That process also strips out the pollen, enzymes, and other things that make honey genuinely good for you. Bee Bomb honey never gets heated above hive temperature and is only lightly strained to remove wax. The result actually tastes like where it came from, and that changes a little from season to season depending on what the bees were working.
The Olsons keep hives in Steamboat Springs, Hayden, and Denver, and the honey from each spot tastes different. Steamboat bees work high mountain meadows full of clover, lupine, and fireweed. Hayden sits lower in the valley and gives the honey an earthier note. The Denver hives forage on whatever is blooming in the city, which makes for something lighter and more floral. Same bees, same care, but the land does most of the work.

Mountain wildflower honey comes from bees that forage on a diverse mix of high-altitude wildflowers. This creates a complex, rich flavor profile that changes subtly with each season, unlike single-source honeys.
Store honey at room temperature in a dry place. Raw honey never expires! If it crystallizes, that's completely natural — just place the jar in warm water to re-liquify it.
