BEENAKED BEE YARD & APIARY-Danny and Conni Carnley
Beekeeping is in Conni’s roots. With a maternal grandfather and aunt who were both beekeepers, she always knew she’d one day have hives of her own. After years of learning, researching, and dreaming, that vision came to life in the spring of 2014 when she and her husband, Danny, received their first two boxes of bees — and BeeNaked Bee Yard & Apiary was born.
Over the past 11 years, Conni and Danny have turned their passion for bees into a mission of education and sustainability. They’ve shared their knowledge through school presentations, mentoring new beekeepers, managing local hives, and helping with crop pollination — all while spreading awareness of the importance of bees to our ecosystem.
As retired educators from the Santa Rosa County School System, Conni and Danny bring a combined 61 years of classroom and administrative experience to their beekeeping work. Their background in education shines through in the way they teach others about bees and sustainable living.
BeeNaked has grown to offer pure, all-natural raw honey and handcrafted products made with beeswax, essential oils, and botanicals. The Carnleys are committed to environmentally conscious and sustainable beekeeping, ensuring their bees — and their customers — continue to thrive.
