Hamtech Hives is a micro-apiary startup located in Hamilton, New York. I consulted with them to turn a hobby into a business, by presenting an art direction and subsequent logo design to celebrate the release. This pro-bono project had a very sweet result.
Each label is printed by hand, using a stamp of the hand-drawn and hand-lettered logo design, and glued to the jars of honey. Each jar of honey is a result of pollination/cultivation of the hives at the micro-apiary and filtered in all processes by hand by the beekeepers to reach their final product. The design process for this label is just as transparent and hands-on as their production method.
