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.

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.
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.
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.

These have become a popular ways to deal with small hive beetles in a natural way without any pesticides or chemicals. These disposable towels trap beetles inside the hive as they walk around the hive without hurting the bees.

These Small Hive Beetle Towels create a trap for beetles by snaring the adult beetles in the fabric. The fibers of the towels get hooked onto the beetle's legs and keep them from getting away.

These can be placed inside the hive year-round to catch the beetles, but they work best when beetles are most active. This is during the spring, summer, and fall. If left on during the winter, the bees will likely propolise the towels and make them difficult to remove.

These Small Hive Beetle Towels work best when they are roughed up before being placed into the hive. They can be torn into 1-2 inch strips and placed on the edges of the frames where the top bars rest on the sides of the box. This is where the beetles are driven by the beetles, and they will get caught up on the towel. When the towel is full of adult beetles, the towel can be discarded and replaced.

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.
