A beekeeping couple from Colonial Heights are planning to bring the ancient craft of making honey mead to downtown Hopewell. Mike and Tonya Haley plan to open Haley's Honey Meadery LLC this fall in a renovated commercial building at 235 E. Broadway Ave. in Hopewell.
The Haleys have leased 1,200 square feet in the building, which is being renovated for a public tasting room. The tasting room, near the Beacon Theatre, will also have an outdoor patio. An adjacent space about the same size will house a production area for making mead.
