VIKING HONEY^®

The Origin

In 1960, World War II veteran Frank Russell Abernathy and Ava Dell Giles Abernathy established Giles Shire—the Last Viking Kingdom in Midgard.

What was begun there was never meant to end.

After a distinguished tenure with the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C., Frank returned to Mississippi with Dell to reclaim the land and establish a sanctuary as stewards of the earth.

In the stillness of summer, on golden afternoons, their grandsons—Jimmy, Greg, and Mark—moved through the fields, learning the ancient rhythm of season, seed, and storm.

Years passed.

Jimmy went out into the world—Mississippi State, the Sorbonne, Madison Avenue, and a divided Germany at the edge of history.

Then he met her.

A Viking princess.

She led him home.

There, in the sacred soil of Giles Shire, Jimmy entered the order of Hive Lords—guardians of the oldest secrets.

In the communion of bee and blossom, he uncovered the source—its origin held in silence.

Viking Honey®.

The Creed of the Hive Lords

The Philosophy

Honor the honey bee—save the honey bee.
Honor your health. Honor the Earth.

Sustainability begins with the bee.
Without her, there is no food. No forest. No future.

Food is medicine. It always has been.

Viking Honey® is not merely nourishment.
It is nature’s most potent remedy.

In an age of pesticides, plastics, and genetic tampering,
Viking Honey® returns us to the sacred.

It cleanses.
It restores.
It sanctifies.

Beyla's gift—
the nectar of myth and legend,
forged in Norse fire and the purest lands of Midgard.

Viking Honey®.
Rare. Divine.

There is honey.
And then there is Viking Honey®.

The nectar source remains the most closely guarded secret of Giles Shire.

A Sacred Kinship

Vikings and honey bees share a singular fate—raiders and pollinators, bound to the same law.

Both venture into the unknown in search of treasure. Both carry the burden of creation.

The Viking seizes gold and spreads legacy. The bee gathers nectar and sustains life.

One rides the wave.
The other rides the wind.

Both return—to the hive, the hearth, the Shire—with bounty divine.

The Offering

Viking Honey® is born of a dual force—fierce and fertile, wild and sacred.

It is not merely honey. It is a relic.

To taste it is to taste power.
To hold it is to hold myth.

Odin sends his ravens—Huginn and Muninn—to judge those who seek it.
