Hello my name is Rudy. I started Rudy's Apiary's with my wife Rusty, the redhead. Together we started with three hives in our backyard at Clinton Lake. We loved it so much we expanded more and more. We have expanded our operation from our backyard to the surrounding area to include Mascoutin Campground and Weldon Springs State Park. 

As beekeeping enthusiasts, we believe in the conservation of bees and the importance of their role in maintaining the local wildlife and our food supply. Without honey bees and other pollinators, essential flowers and plants would not get proper pollination and would produce far less - some would not produce at all. This would make for far less food for wildlife and humans alike. 

We have partnered up with the Illinois Department of Conservation to introduce our bees into state parks and campgrounds to revitalize the once healthy honey bee population. Our bees are also beneficial to the local communities. Our bees make raw honey that has all of the local pollen and enzymes in it. Eating of local honey with local pollen in it may help to fight pollen allergies and build your immune system. 

Our mission is to create a healthy and beneficial business model that with our bees will help the local wildlife, communities, and mother nature.
