Biggie Bee Farm began with a shared interest in beekeeping between father and son, Doug and David Wilkinson, along the Mississippi River corridor in Port Allen, Louisiana. What began as a small beekeeping hobby, now a family run business providing naturally sourced products and services to local clients.
David’s fascination with honey bees combined with experience from years with environmental geology turned into an opportunity to learn more about how our landscapes function — how flowers bloom, how pollinators move across fields and forests, and how small ecological relationships shape the health of the land.
Today our apiary continues to grow, Biggie Bee Farm manages honey bee colonies, produces raw Louisiana honey, and explores the relationship between pollinators, native plants, and agriculture throughout our region.
Along the way, our work has naturally grown into a deeper interest in how pollinators move across the landscape and how farms, businesses, and communities can work together to strengthen pollinator habitat throughout our region.
Each hive we care for now represents more than honey production. It reflects a small but meaningful step toward healthier landscapes — supporting pollinators, strengthening biodiversity, and helping reconnect people with the natural systems that quietly sustain our communities.
