Honey Bees for Sale | Mated Queens & NUCs

The honey bees for sale are properly mated queens from known and purchased Queen Mother stock that are grafted and mated locally. We verify the new queens laying patterns before selling them to provide a quality product.

If the honey bees for sale that you are purchasing are a 5-frame NUC, we offer different ways you can do this to allow for any budget.

  1. You can do a “BYOB” (bring your own box) for the most economical purchase, where you come to the farm and pick up your bees placing our 5-frames right into your own 5-frame or 10-frame box.
  2. The next level up includes an EZ NUC that you can pick up your bees in, simply close the entrance, tape the lid and you are on your way.
  3. Lastly, we also build custom wooden 5-frame NUC boxes (unpainted) that you can pick up your bees in. We will put a screen across the entrance, bring a ratchet strap and you are on your way. Don’t forget to move the bees into a 10-frame box and paint that box after you do.

GreenView Aquaponics Family Farm and Apiary is based in Cape Coral, FL on SW Florida's coast and producing Queen Cells & NUCs for sale from April to Oct/Nov.

Italian Queens are known for producing hives that have a high volume of brood year-round. The queens tend to continue to lay eggs regardless of weather, nectar or pollen conditions and many beekeepers, who pollinate in early spring, prefer the Italian genetic stock. Since Italian queens produce large hive populations, it’s very important to keep the colony well fed throughout colder months when bees are unable to forage or periods with high amounts of syrup or honey consumption. Italian Queens will have mixed coloring when they emerge since we allow for healthy, open mating by purchasing our queen mothers from open mated stock N of I-4. They have many fine qualities: the queens are exceptionally prolific, known for a fast spring buildup, gentleness and honey production. From New Beekeepers to Commercial Pollinators and Honey Producers, you can be confident that when you purchase our Queen Cells, you are not only getting a high quality Queen cell with great genetics, but you are getting the benefits of a high-quality control process: from breeder queen selection to colony feeding (to produce quality royal jelly and queen cells), to grafting, incubating and finally getting the queen cells to you. We do all we can to ensure quality and care each step of the process!

We do not have honey bees for sale from our bee removals!

The honey bees that come to the farm from bee removals are quarantined for a period of time to allow us to monitor them for any pests or diseases as well as temperament. In most cases, we have to re-queen these colonies to help dilute the africanized traits that are common in our region; therefore. they are not for sale.
