Keeping bees and packaging honey has long been a tradition in the Zeigler family. In fact, our honey roots date back to when the family first settled in Haylow, Georgia, in the early 1800s. The Ziegler family first started bottling their personal honey in the early 1800s with neighboring farmers in Haylow, Georgia. In 1929, Gaston Murchason Zeigler, Sr. (G. M.) moved the family nine miles north to Stockton, Georgia. In 1935, G. M. Zeigler, Sr. decided to work bees and package honey full time, thus he founded Zeigler’s Apiaries. In that same year, G. M Zeigler, Jr. began keeping his own bees, when he caught a swarm of bees in a coffee can from a neighbor’s bush… he was seven years old at the time. As he grew up, Junior worked in every facet of beekeeping, constantly deepening his understanding of the bees and refining his craft. In 1949, Junior purchased the business from his father and never worked another job. One could argue he never really worked at all, since he spent all of his time doing what he loved, working with bees. Junior loved sharing his knowledge of bees, learning from others experiences, and advancing the honey industry. He actively participated in the Georgia Beekeepers Association and served as its President for many years. He was also appointed by the Georgia Secretary of Agriculture to serve as Georgia’s Honey Ambassador representing the industry at national and international trade shows. That commitment has guided us from the beginning and continues to shape everything we do today. What started as a local tradition has now extended throughout Florida and Georgia, bringing our “Uniquely Southern” honey to more homes than ever before.
