Giles Shire, the Last Norse Kingdom in Midgard

A Legacy of Nobility and Nature

In 1960, the esteemed Frank Russell Abernathy, a distinguished World War II veteran, and his wife, Ava Dell Giles Abernathy, established Giles Shire, the Last Norse Kingdom in Midgard. After a prestigious career with the United States Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C., Frank and Dell returned to their ancestral lands, creating an exquisite estate and cultivating the finest organic produce. Their grandsons, Jimmy, Greg, and Mark, spent idyllic summers and weekends immersed in the Shire's splendor.

The Rise of a Viking Prince

Jimmy Giles' journey to becoming the Shire's crown jewel is nothing short of extraordinary. With an MBA from Mississippi State University and studies at the Sorbonne in Paris, Jimmy honed his acumen on Madison Avenue with IBM and witnessed history unfold in Dilsberg, Germany, as the Berlin Wall fell. Fate intervened when he met and married a Viking princess, who inspired his return to Giles Shire.

Here, Jimmy mastered the ancient and noble art of beekeeping, unlocking the closely guarded secrets of master apiarists and discovering an unparalleled nectar source. This revelation birthed the exclusive Giles Shire Viking Honey®—indisputably the world's finest honey.

Divine Patronage

Recognizing the paramount importance of the honeybee, Giles Shire extended a personal invitation to Beyla, the Norse Goddess of Honeybees, to grace the kingdom with her presence. Honored, Beyla accepted. News of the Shire's commitment to preserving these vital creatures reached Odin, the Norse God of Wisdom, who, impressed, assumed the mantle of rulership over Giles Shire. Under his reign, Thor, God of Thunder, ensures ideal climatic conditions and safeguards the apiaries, while Beyla undertakes the monumental task of breeding a Super Queen Bee—a formidable force against honeybee extinction and Earth's salvation. Heimdall, ever vigilant, stands as the kingdom's sentry and guardian.

The Nectar of Myth and Legend

Viking Honey® is the embodiment of myth and legend, the elixir of Norse healing and health. Exotic yet natural, scarce and coveted the world over, it is the true nectar of the Gods—unequivocally, the finest honey in existence.

Divine Approval

Odin's ravens, Huginn (thought) and Muninn (memory), will assess your honor and courage. Should Odin deem you worthy, Viking Honey® will bestow upon you unparalleled healing and strength, granting you passage into the hallowed halls of Valhalla.
