Its ciders are made with rare and heirloom variety Virginia cider apples that are prized for their tannin, acidity and flavor. Blue Bee Cider aims to create balanced ciders true to their Virginia roots from a culinary perspective and true to the fruit from a cidermaking one. One of Virginia’s native bees, osmia lignaria, or the Blue Orchard Bee, is the inspiration for this cidery’s name. These hardworking bees are solitary and wild, emerging early in the cool spring just in time to pollinate apple blossoms.
