Senate President Selects Boston Honey Company for Manufacturing Award

Holliston-based family business is a leader among family-owned, environmentally friendly manufacturers in MetroWest

(WORCESTER, Mass.—9/22/2023) This week, Senate President Karen E. Spilka selected Boston Honey Company, a Holliston-based, family-owned manufacturer, to receive a Massachusetts Manufacturing Award.

The company was awarded the honor at the 8th Annual Manufacturing Awards Ceremony, which was held on September 19th at Polar Park in Worcester. The event was organized by the Massachusetts Legislative Manufacturing Caucus, as part of the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative’s “Manufacturing Mash Up.”

“Boston Honey Company is well known in the MetroWest business community as a fixture among family-owned and environmentally conscious manufacturers,” said Senate President Karen E. Spilka (D-Ashland). “They are one of so many small business successes from our region and around the state, and I am thrilled to select them for a manufacturing award this year. I want to thank the Massachusetts Legislative Manufacturing Caucus and caucus Co-Chair Paul Feeney for their work highlighting all our state’s world-class manufacturers.”

Boston Honey Company began more than two decades ago when owner Andy Reseska purchased a small number of beehives. Since then, the business has flourished, and their honey and honey products can be found in supermarkets and at farm stands around New England.

The company is devoted to environmentally conscious and sustainable beekeeping practices and has established apiaries across Massachusetts to offer crucial crop pollination services to local farms.

We are honored to be nominated by Senate President Spilka to receive the 2023 Massachusetts Manufacturing Award from the Legislative Caucus,” said Andy Reseska, President of Boston Honey Company. “We have been a commercial honey producer for twenty-three years, and we are just thrilled to be acknowledged by Senate President Spilka for our determination and commitment to keep honeybees within the Commonwealth producing Massachusetts honey, while providing crop pollination to our region’s growers.”
