There's something special about discovering that a product you see on shelves across the country got its start right here in Greeley. It’s a reminder that the businesses shaping our community aren’t just local favorites –  they are also making an impact far beyond northern Colorado.  
 

One of those sweet success stories is Local Hive. This company has been a part of the Greeley community for more than 100 years.  Some Greeley residents might remember it as Rice’s Honey, a family business known for caring about quality and working closely with beekeepers. Today under a new name, Local Hive keeps that tradition alive and is sharing their honey with people nationwide. 
 

Now, Local Hive is getting attention for bringing back the classic honey bear bottle. Their honey is 100% raw, unfiltered and harvested in the U.S. The bear-shaped bottle will hit shelves in Kroger and Walmart stores nationwide. Honey may be a typical grocery item for you but there’s also a story of hard work, community and Colorado pride behind it.   

Local Hive honey is bottled right here in Greeley. It comes from American beekeepers and is made with care to keep it natural and tasty. Local Hive’s way of doing business while caring for bees helps beekeepers all over the country and showcases cool new ideas coming out of Greeley.

Greeley’s Got It: Good Eats and Entertainment  

Great food isn’t just from restaurants or breweries. It starts with good ingredients and people who care about what they make. A bit of local honey on toast or in a fancy dish is part of what makes Greeley special.  
 

For people visiting, it’s another reason to see more of Greeley. Besides fun events, music and good food, you’ll find local businesses doing important work. They make products sold all over the country while still keeping Greeley’s values.  
 

For people who live here, it’s something to be proud of. Next time you see the honey bear in a store, you’ll know there’s a part of Greeley in it.  
 

Whether it’s on your plate, in your drink or on store shelves, Greeley has something special to share.
