Sweet Cypress Apiary was started during a time when life changed in way I could never have imagine. The original farm where these hives were meant to begin is no longer part of our future after a tragedy took place there.
In Memory
Part of the spirit of Sweet Cypress Apiary honors Bruce Parks, whose memory remains woven into the story of this farm and the dream
The bees now live beside another stretch of cypress wetlands, continuing their quiet work. This farm stands as a place of remembrance, healing, and resilience – proof that even after loss, life continues to grow.
In honor of his memory, Sweet Cypress Apiary supports organizations working to end gun violence and support victims and families who carry that loss every day.
