About Us

---

At C Bees and Farm, we're just beginning our journey into beekeeping - and we’re excited to bring you along for the ride.

Inspired by the healing connection between veterans and bees through Hives for Heroes, our interest in beekeeping blossomed into a family passion. We established our small apiary in Franklin, Texas, in the spring of 2025, and we’re working toward our very first honey harvest in 2026.

Our long-term vision is to grow not only as beekeepers, but as sustainable farmers. While we haven’t set a date yet, we hope to expand C Bees and Farm into a local source for all-natural produce, education, and hands-on learning opportunities for families and future beekeepers.

The heart of our mission is simple:
Promote our honey farm, raise awareness of the honey bee’s vital role in nature, and inspire others to protect pollinators.

Through this website, we aim to:

• Share the story of our apiary and future farm
   
• Educate the public about the importance of honey bees
   
• Connect with other beekeepers, veterans, and homesteaders
   
• Eventually offer our own locally harvested honey and beeswax products
   

We practice treatment-free beekeeping, striving to let our bees thrive as naturally as possible - with minimal human interference, and maximum respect for how bees operate in the wild.

We believe in:

• Stewardship of bees and land
   
• Teaching future generations
   
• Leaving things better than we found them
   

We’re the Chappell family - Brad, a Navy veteran, Acey, a strong and supportive wife, and a handful of curious kids and soon to be grandkids who love the land and everything that buzzes on it. Beekeeping started as a healing project, grew into a shared passion, and is now becoming a family mission.

Whether you're here to learn more about beekeeping, follow our progress, or support our future honey harvest - welcome!
We’re just getting started, and we’re so glad you're here.
