Remembering “The Honeyman” and His Sweet Legacy

At FresYes, home and community are about more than where we live. They are also about the people, traditions, and stories that stay with us. For Mandy Herring, one of our FresYes agents, honey will always mean much more than something sweet for a cup of tea or a warm biscuit. It represents her dad, Richard Sanchez, lovingly known by many as “The Honeyman.”

Richard had a special connection to honey and everything it represents: patience, hard work, nature, and sharing something good with others. Over time, honey became part of the way he connected with people. A jar was never simply something to keep in the pantry. It could be enjoyed around the family table, given as a thoughtful gift, or shared with a friend who could use a little kindness.

Richard passed away on May 12, 2026. His loss is deeply felt by Mandy and her family, but the memories he created and the things he cared about continue to be part of their lives.

Today, Mandy is honoring her dad by continuing to share something that was such a meaningful part of his life. The Honeyman’s honey is now available for purchase and pickup at the FresYes office. 🍯

There is a wonderful variety to choose from, including Sage, Star Thistle, Alfalfa, Avocado, Cotton Wildflower, Orange, and Buckwheat, along with Honeycomb in Raw Honey and Bee Pollen. Each variety has its own unique color and flavor, giving you plenty of ways to discover a favorite.

The Honeyman’s honey is available now for purchase and pickup at FresYes Realty. Stop by, choose your favorite variety, and enjoy something sweet with a special story behind it. 🍯

Head YES man at FresYes.com

I grew up in Fresno. Relaxed in its calm breezes, listened with my dad to the crack of the bat at little league baseball games when I was a kid and now take my son to do the same at minor league games. I broadened my mind at its schools (I went to high school right here at San Joaquin Memorial, and to college at Fresno State!) I love that if I drive for two hours in one direction, I can be in the mountains. For two hours in another, luxuriating on a California beach. I can enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere of San Francisco or Los Angeles, but still be able to come home to relaxation, calm, and quiet.

I love where I live, and I also love what I do. I'm lucky to be able to work in a profession in which I get to build relationships; one that has me meeting new people each and every day and helping them to build new lives in my beloved city. I'm lucky enough to work in a profession in which I can marry cutting-edge technologies and marketing techniques to good, old-fashioned, nose-to-the-grindstone work. I am lucky enough to work in a profession that allows me to work as an advocate for my clients; to use every tool at my disposal to get a job done well for them, and with as little stress and expense as possible.

I love my city. I love my job. One inspires my excellence for the other.

Fresno? I say FresYES
