Linda's Bee Farm is a family-owned apiary founded by Trumbull County beekeeper, Seth and Adrienne Steward in Trumbull County, OH. Linda's Bee Farm is more than a conventional apiary, it is your #1 source for Natural Specialty Crafted Bee Products. In 2014, Seth became a beekeeper after studying Apiculture for many years. Seth and his wife of 20 years Adrienne, are parents of six children and four grandchildren. Adrienne M. Steward, of Warren, OH is Product Development Manager and essentially the face of it's retail operation. She brings her artistic prowess, style, and liberating presence to the their concept of believing in the “Power of Nature.”
Seth's Mission:
After the loss of his mother to congestive heart failure (2013), he used #Apiculture as a means of renewal and purpose, while advancing his passions, and building a tribute to his mother Linda. She demonstrated compassion, tenderness, thoughtfulness, charity and love to all who encountered her. Linda’s Bee Farm seeks to continue her tradition, while displaying those same qualities in its mission to protect, preserve, and promote the habitat of honey bees in the ecosystem.
Mr. Steward states, “The short answer is that everything that I have experienced in the course of my life has brought me to this point.” Particularly, the accomplishments, the failures, the wins, the losses, the disappointments, and the celebrations are all relevant. This craft is all encompassing. It is a confluence of not only several academic disciplines, but it is an opportunity to obtain a clearer understanding and balance with nature. I concluded, that if I could observe the bees, and develop a relationship with them, then perhaps I can obtain a more insightful understanding and relationship with her (Mother Nature). That same inspiration and passion contributes to the creation of each product in our growing line of natural health and beauty products. For the Linda's Bee Farm family, "apiculture" has become a way of life.
Born in Union County, NJ, Seth was raised in Linden, NJ, the third of four children.
