About Declaration Honey

Declaration Honey is a veteran-owned, for-profit limited liability company organized under Illinois law. We produce raw, local honey and donate 100% of our profits to Hives for Heroes (hivesforheroes.org), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that connects veterans and first responders with beekeeping. Hives for Heroes is an independent organization and is not responsible for Declaration Honey's products, services, or website content.

Declaration Honey donates 100% of its profits to Hives for Heroes. "Profits" means gross revenue from product sales minus direct costs of production, including but not limited to equipment, supplies, packaging, market fees, and shipping. This donation commitment is voluntary and may be modified or discontinued at our discretion with notice posted on the Site. Declaration Honey is a for-profit LLC — purchases from Declaration Honey are not tax-deductible charitable contributions.
