Where does Mike & Niki's honey come from?

Every jar comes from our own apiaries across Silicon Valley – Campbell, San Jose, Santa Clara, Los Gatos, Sunnyvale, Half Moon Bay, Carneros, and more. Mike is our head beekeeper. We harvest, bottle, and label everything ourselves at our Campbell facility – the last farm in Campbell.

Does local honey actually help with allergies?

Raw local honey contains trace amounts of the same pollen your immune system reacts to. Many of our customers use a daily spoonful from their own zip code starting weeks before allergy season as part of their routine. We don't make medical claims, but 13 years of repeat customers tells us something.

What's the difference between varietal and wildflower honey?

Wildflower honey reflects whatever the bees foraged in a given season – a snapshot of that place and time. Varietal honey comes from apiaries placed near a dominant bloom: orange blossom, eucalyptus, sage. Different flavors, different bodies, different colors – same real honey.

Is your honey raw and unfiltered?

Yes. We don't pasteurize, we don't ultra-filter, and we don't blend with anything we didn't harvest. Just strained to remove wax and bee parts. That's why it crystallizes – real honey does.

Yes. Free shipping on orders over $50, $5.99 under. We ship across the US from Campbell, California.

Los Altos Honey – Foothill Raw Honey from Los Altos, CA | Mike & Niki's

Raw honey from Los Altos, California – one of Silicon Valley's most beautiful foothill communities. Our bees work apiaries in Los Altos where oak woodlands, fruit trees, and lush residential gardens create exceptional nectar.

Los Altos honey is consistently one of our most popular varietals. The foothill location means bees forage on a rich mix of plants you won't find in the flatlands.

What Makes Los Altos Honey Special

Los Altos sits where the Santa Cruz Mountains meet the valley floor. Mature oak trees, heritage fruit orchards, and some of the most elaborate gardens in Silicon Valley give our bees an incredible buffet. The elevation change creates a slightly different bloom calendar than our valley honeys.

As Local as It Gets!

Amazing local honey! It’s clear how much love and expertise goes into their product. Make sure to chat with Mike or Niki if you get the chance; their passion is contagious, and you’ll walk away knowing exactly how your honey was sourced. Support local and go see them!

Great honey!

This is the best local honey our whole family enjoys having everyday!!

fragrance too strong

It's pretty easy to apply to the skin (doens't take too much effort to rub it on), but I don't like the smell of the product at all. I would tolerate it if it were a natural smell of the beewax, but no, this is a perfumy kind of odor. And it's strong and lingering. I don't recommend it.

Anne, we get that this did not work for you. and we will take that on the chin. with our next batch we will weigh your opinion in our process
I privately sent you a solution
We hope you will try other things and still be a fan. NIKI
