What it is

Overflow Honey Co. is a first-party, family-run beekeeping supply store and honey business in Florence, Mississippi (Central Mississippi), with an official Squarespace online shop at overflowhoneyco.com. Its Shop page says it “provides everything from raw, local honey to protective gear, frames, hive components, and tools for beekeepers of every level,” and that it is “the exclusive manufacturer of The Original Beetle Trap & Tray,” formerly known as the Freeman Beetle Trap & Tray. The online catalog is organized into Frames, Tops, Set Ups & Kits, Winter, Feeders, Smokers & Fuel, Treatments & Pest Management, Hive Tools & Other, Storing, Wooden Hive Components, The Original Beetle Trap and Tray Bottom Boards, Protective Gear, Nuc (extras), Queen Supplies, Books / Logs, Basic Honey Harvesting, Queen Excluders, Feeding Supplements, and Apparel & Merch. This listing is for the beekeeping-supply store with an official cart and on-page prices, not a club and not a course.

Who it’s for

Hobbyist beekeepers who can visit the Florence store, and beekeepers nationwide who order online. The About page says the family serves “local neighbors” and ships “products to beekeepers nationwide,” and the Shop page says the store “carr[ies] a wide selection in our store and [is] glad to ship items not currently featured online.” It also sells wholesale. Not a membership club and not a university program.

This is a first-party Equipment operation. It runs an official online catalog with add-to-cart buttons and on-page dollar prices, prints a Florence street address, phone, email and store hours, publishes a dated return policy, and manufactures its own hive-beetle bottom boards.
