This is farm land in southern Minnesota. And four miles north of the town of Janesville, tucked away among gently rolling hills on a narrow gravel road sits Hofmann Apiaries. During the 1920s Hofmann Apiaries was the largest producer of honey in Minnesota, had a national reputation, and is one of only three sites on The National Register of Historic Places having to do with honey bees and the production honey. Of those three sites it is also the only site with buildings intact that offer a glimpse into the history of beekeeping in the first half of the 20th Century
