Honey Bee Manufacturing was founded by brothers Greg and Glenn Honey in 1979. At the time, the two farmers were unable to find equipment to fit the needs on their farm - so they built their own. These on-farm innovations quickly evolved into a complete line of harvesting equipment that is now being used all over the world.

Honey Bee’s specialty is innovative, intuitive, and simple designs that the farmer can understand. At the nexus of these features sits the AirFLEX platform. The AirFLEX has evolved into a tougher and more resilient machine, all while maintaining its simple design and providing the closest cut imaginable. With the new AirFLEX NXT, Honey Bee brings you a combination of thoughtful design and high performance. With improvements that enhance performance and reliability, the NXT focuses on the future of farming. Honey Bee has come a long way from those days back on the farm. With a strong commitment to product research and development, Honey Bee’s objective has always been to manufacture equipment that farmers are proud to own.
