Honey Bees for Sale

We work with a variety of honey bee breeds such as Carnolian, Buckfast, Russian, Italian and local stock. Season by season our colonies vary. We ensure all our stock has high-quality traits. They are excellent egg layers, honey producers, highly hygienic, gentle, and disease-resistant.

We utilize standard Langstroth hive boxes, the most popular type of hive box. Langstroth hives enable the bees to move easily between frames and provide easy access for inspection and hive management.

Whereas most hives are assembled with nails, our quality hive boxes are made to stand the test of time. They are glued and screwed, then painted with a double coat of low VOC paint for weather protection. Components of the hive include solid bottom board, hive box, entrance reducer, frames with foundation, and migratory lid.
