Bees at work
Erin Evans is an EAS Certified Master Beekeeper and holds and advanced certification in Permaculture design. Overland Apiaries is founded on the principles that working with nature is fun and smart. We are happiest when we observe what is going on around us and work with the systems at play to create the outcomes we desire. Our farm creates fruits and vegetables, eggs, honey, and other products -all naturally, with no chemical fertilizers.
The bees create amazing honey from the wide variety of nectar sources available within flying distance of our home here in Portland Maine. In the process they pollinate literally millions of flowers each year, increasing plant fruit and seed production throughout the city, and increasing the abundance of food for humans and wildlife. Your support of our farm supports the entire ecosystem.

Our Product
Honey Products
Our honey is 100% Pure Raw Maine Honey. Just as the bees made it – nothing added, nothing taken away. We harvest honey at different times in the season, resulting in different varietals. The early honey is characterized by early fruit tree blooms, black locust (acacia) and linden. This honey is light in color and “buttery” with a hint of mint. Our summer honey is a more traditional amber color – a true “wildflower” blend of nectar sources including clover, thyme, and other herbs and ornamental flowers. The flavor is complex yet soothing – a delicious honey for all uses. Our fall honey is dominated by three major nectar sources: aster, goldenrod, and Japanese Knotweed. This dark honey is red in color and rich in flavor. This unusual dark honey is deliciously sweet and warming, and characterized by high-antioxidant properties of knotweed nectar, extra good for you.
