A beautiful and well-provisioned shop. Great for tourists and locals alike! As a tourist, you can enjoy the beautiful mural, peruse well curated bee and honey items (like honey, candles, body care products, household products). As a local (or a tourist with extra time!), you can take beekeeping classes and become an amateur beekeeper.The owner is a wonderful and friendly lady. She can explain the history of her shop and answer bee-related questions. As someone who has been part of the community for a decade, she can also offer suggestions if you ask. Definitely a place worth visiting, don’t miss it!

I came to the honey exchange for to do their “hour with a beekeeper”— basically an in depth, hands-on lesson about bees. Phil taught us SO MUCH about bees, showed us many different hives, let us hold a frame full of bees! At end of it, they set up a honey tasting for us to really get a sense of the subtle differences in taste. Meghan even threw in a little birthday gift from the gift shop! Learned so much and had a great time. The “hour with a beekeeper” would make an excellent gift for any aspiring beekeeper in your life.

Lovely store has everything and anything to do with respecting and honoring our favorite pollinators and the products they provide to us.

Top notch service, equipment and advice from a friendly, supportive, experienced staff. Quality beekeeping equipment and supplies at prices comparable to what you find online, if not less expensive. They also offer classes. Cant say enough about this place.

Great business worthy of local beekeeper support. Everyone is knowledgeable, generous with their time and really flexible. Forget dealing with internet suppliers. Buy local!

Love going here and supporting a local business. They have a great selection of unique gifts and natural products.

A wide array of bee, beeswax, and honey themed items that make great gifts, and of course, a wide selection of honeys including many local raw unfiltered options. Plus, everyone that works here is so nice and helpful- I love this little shop! Check out the backyard beekeeping in the summer.

Beautiful shop, lots of gift options as well everything a beekeeper could want! Phil is very knowledgeable and super helpful!

I love this place! I regret not visiting before my last day in Maine. The shop is so cute and yellow! The lady was very nice and helpful. I learned a lot about the process and flowers. I can’t wait to try these with my mom!

The Honey Exchange is my favorite shop in all of Portland! Lovely gifts, tasty local honey, delicious wines, and run by amazing good people who care deeply about their community. Its also THE hub for local beekeepers - I learn something new about honey bees every time I step in and I love running into my fellow bee nerds

Wonderful beekeeping supplies, honey products and some gift items. But the real star here is the knowledgeable and super nice staff, especially if you keep bees. A great place all around.

All things bees and honey! My go to for local, raw unfiltered honey. But dont stop there! Mead, wine, home goods, jewelry & bee keeping supplies. Shop owners are incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming and friendly.

Great little shop for both those that want to buy honey and bee based products in all sorts of forms and supplies/bees for beekeepers alike. They have an enclosed hive in the shop that is really interesting to look at. They are really kid friendly. They even arrange visits to local schools, libraries, and other places of that sort to educate kids about bees and beekeeping. They bring an enclosed hive with them for those visits which kids love. They also offer classes for aspiring beekeepers. Great addition to the greater Portland community.

Great local shop, so many great items and gifts!

OMG! I love this place. A must see if you are going through Portland. So cute, great owner, interesting selections of honey and related/complimentary products. Go support them.

A unique store for all things honeybee! A very cool shop with beekeeping supplies and books, an eye-opening selection of local and global honey (including a tasting bar!), beeswax candles, awesome gifts, and a small but excellent selection of wine, wine and beer. Even a live, in-store hive! The owners are always there and you may catch them teaching a beekeeping class, extracting honey, or inspecting one of their backyard hives.

For such a particular specialty product, I come here quite frequently! All things honey related and more. Normal and flavored honey, sure, but also beeswax products, mead/cider/wine, soaps, snacks, cute kitchen gear, and even hive supplies with a live hive to look at! Highly recommend a stop for tourists and locals alike.

These guys are awesome. We took a class with Phil and it was excellent! They know so much and share wildly, even sending you to other vendors where applicable. Cant wait for our bees!!

These guys are tops. Truly passionate about bee keeping and very generous with their time. The local honey variety is awesome! Great place for bee keepers and honey lovers alike.

Very knowledgeable!

I can get my grandaughters honey sticks there. Have lots of other honey products.

The Honey Exchange is a welcoming little neighborhood store in the heart of Deering Center. My two-year-old son loves going to watch the bees, and the folks who run it always take the time to pay him special attention. Each time we go, we learn a little more about bees and honey. Its a friendly little shop that I would highly recommend visiting.

The owners are amazing! The shop has everything beekeepers need to maintain hives and bees as well as having a honey extraction system. They help small beekeepers keep in the loop and support them completely. Their hive observation is fascinating.

Great beekeeping store. Ask if you need something you dont see as many things are stored. Staff is knowledgeable and super nice.

Neat store for gifts and supplies

I met Meegan(?) the owner I believe. She was a lovely woman that comes across very passionate and knowledgable about honeybees. The store is VERY tastefully laid out with top notch honeybee related products and decor. First class business from my point of view
