Honey Bees for Sale
We offer a variety of high-quality honey bee breeds, including Carniolan, Buckfast, Russian, Italian, and carefully selected local stock. Our colonies vary by season, but we always prioritize strong genetics and desirable traits. Each colony is known for being gentle, disease-resistant, hygienic, and excellent at both egg-laying and honey production.
Our bees are housed in standard Langstroth hive boxes—the most widely used hive design for good reason. Langstroth hives allow bees to move freely between frames and make inspections and hive management simple and efficient.
Unlike other hives that are nailed together, our hive boxes are built to last. Each one is glued and screwed for added durability, then finished with two coats of low-VOC paint to protect against the elements. Every hive includes a solid bottom board, hive box, entrance reducer, frames with foundation, and a migratory lid
