Honey

Geise's Sunshine Honey, Inc.
Mail: PO Box 12
Augusta, MT 59410
(406) 562-3421

Geise's Sunshine Honey started in the United States in 1883 by the original Geise Bee Man, Otto. His son, Roscoe Otto chose Augusta to raise his bees and family. Today, his two sons, Ross and Kyle, carry on the family tradition. Most everyone knows the purpose of branding your livestock, but what most folks don't know is that according to Montana statutes, honeybees are classified as livestock. Today Sunshine Honey runs nearly 630 million bees. Can you imagine what branding at the Geise's would be like if each of these little critters were to sport a brand? Since the bees generally come home every night, burning the Geise's Sunshine Honey brand into the honeycombs generally does the trick!
