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 Gatos Honey – Mountain Foothill Honey from Los Gatos, CA | Mike & Niki's

Raw honey from Los Gatos, California – where Silicon Valley meets the Santa Cruz Mountains. Our bees forage in Los Gatos on creek-side wildflowers, heritage orchards, and the dense vegetation that makes this foothill town one of the most beautiful in the Bay Area.

What Makes Los Gatos Honey Special

Los Gatos Creek and the surrounding mountain canyons create a lush, protected environment where plants bloom earlier and longer than the open valley. Our bees take full advantage – the result is a rich, complex honey with depth you can taste.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does Los Gatos honey come from?

From apiaries maintained by Mike in Los Gatos, CA – nestled at the base of the Santa Cruz Mountains in southern Silicon Valley.

Why does Los Gatos honey taste different from Campbell honey?

Different zip code, different flowers. Los Gatos sits higher in elevation with more tree cover, creek-side vegetation, and mountain blooms. Campbell is valley floor with more garden and eucalyptus forage. Same beekeeper, different terroir.

How should I store raw honey?

Room temperature, out of direct sunlight. Raw honey never expires. If it crystallizes, that's natural – gently warm the jar in warm water to re-liquify.

Discover Los Gatos

Los Gatos is a charming mountain town with a walkable downtown packed with boutiques, wine tasting rooms, and restaurants. Hike the Los Gatos Creek Trail, explore the trails at El Sereno Open Space Preserve, or catch a show at the historic Los Gatos Theatre.

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
