Our bees are bred for honey production, temperament and healthy propagation. Our stock is mostly Carniolan and Italian honey bees which do well in our mild winters and hot summers. We do not have a favorite but enjoy having a diverse population of bees in our yard.

The best time to install package bees is early evening. If they can’t be put in that day, keep them in the location of your intended permanent bee hive. The temperature should be between 50 and 70 degrees.
Congratulations on bee-ginning your new hive!

New beekeepers, please refer to our FAQ section with tips and links to prepare for your new colony of honey bees.
