We are honored to have been chosen as a partner with the American Honey Producers Association (AHPA). During the December Conference, the board voted to work with Valor Honey and Kansas State University to develop a Honey Institute with the mission of centralized coordination of training, research, communications, well being, and certification. We have begun work to bring this new vision to fruition.
We are also honored to have Ray Olivarez designate us as
the Kansas Distributor of Olivarez Honey Bees. We will begin taking orders immediately.
Do you know that up to 70% of the honey on store shelves is not real honey? Our honey is certified 100% honey just as the bees make it. The bees that our veterans and students manage and the honey that they gather and process for you are cared for using the highest standards ensuring that you receive one of natures greatest gifts.

BUY VALOR HONEY
& SAVE A VETERAN
Every day, 22 Veterans take their own life. When you choose Valor Honey, 100% of your purchase goes to help Veterans find their way back to a life worth living.
We have found that after training with Valor Honey's proprietary beekeeping program, those with PTSD, brain injuries, and suicidal thoughts have improved substantially and after a full program, have fully recovered.
OUR MISSION
OUR HONEY
Our mission is to help transitioning service men and women suffering from invisible wounds of war through agriculture, specifically beekeeping.
In addition, our duty is to support agriculture and contribute to farming shortages, including beekeepers.
Inherent in our mission is research to save a vulnerable bee population and in doing so save a honey production industry that is in decline.
Our Valor brand proudly and respectfully salutes American military veterans. Decorated Veterans, who are themselves skilled beekeepers, founded our company and remain Valor’s leadership cornerstone.
Valor Honey is a product of our beekeeping program. Every bottle of Valor Honey is harvested or bottled by a Veteran and 100% of your purchase goes to help Veterans.
All Valor Honey is GenuHoney certified.
This means it's proven to be 100% USA Honey and can be tracked back to its individual beekeeper.
When you buy honey, you save a life.
It's that simple.

SAVED MY LIFE.

THIS PROGRAM HAS
MADE ME WHOLE.
I LOOKED FORWARD TO EACH DAY &
BEGAN TO HEAL.
"From the lowest place, I moved to the highest place in my life because of beekeeping and this program. It is far more than I could have imagined and it is because of the care and training that I have a full life today."
"Within months I became alive again. My life was given back to me because of this program."

As part of Valor Honey’s training program, we ask the FDA and the Kansas Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety Specialists to thoroughly inspect our facility annually so that our students can learn the requirements.
We employ fully FDA-compliant extraction and packing facilities and strive to meet the highest food production protocols and standards out there.
All our honey is certified by GenuHoney® , the most comprehensive and credible honey authenticity certification program in the country, to ensure that our honey retains the purity and authenticity it had from the moment it was produced by the bees. All honey packed by Valor Honey can be traced back to the individual beekeepers who extracted the honey, and who are also GenuHoney® certified.
Look for the GenuHoney® seal on every bottle of Valor Honey®
