Please visit our Honey Bees For Sale and Queen Bees For Sale (seasonal) pages for prices, options and availability. Ask about our Lease Contracts for Ag Exemption purposes. Beekeeping Basics - Honey Bee Classes We also provide the basic information and instructions needed to get started in beekeeping. Honeybees 101 for adults and youth as well. Bees can be for the entire family to experience and enjoy. Come out to pick up your hives and stay for an afternoon of gleanings in beekeeping, as they say, with a member of the Master Beekeeper Program of Texas including a Q & A segment as well as hands on over an active hive. Advanced and private lessons are by appointment only. Beekeeping Gear - Hives, Tools & Supplies We offer a full line of Beekeeping Supplies. From basic Bee Hive Sets to full Apiary Starter Kits to Individual Hive Parts, Clothing & Protective Gear, Feeders, to the Tools & Accessories needed, we are here to help. The standard 10 Frame Langstroth style hives are the most common, so that is what we recommend and use in our own yards. These are the type we have most readily available, but we also offer the Langstroth 8 frame equipment as well as Top Bar Hives and Swam Traps. We keep the most of the basics in stock, but for large orders we may require time to fabricate and / or treat raw woodenware to protect it from the elements. Please Note: Beekeeping Supplies and Bees are Local Pickup and by Appointment Only Pollination Services - What's in your Crops? The bulk of the world's crops require pollination by pollinating insects such as honey bees, some birds and even bats. Many crops benefit and produce at a much higher rate when honey bees are introduced to the fields when the crops are in bloom. We understand this need by fellow farmers, but we also value our bees, so only offer Pollination Services to chemical conscious farmers. Anyone requesting our bee pollination services must be operating a pesticide free environment and sign a contract agreeing to meet this requirement. Meaning, if and when chemicals are to be used on the farms around or near the bee yards, ample notice will be given so the bees can be relocated beforehand. Pure Honey - We offer a variety of pure golden sweetness As the bees gather the nectar from the wildflowers, the clover, or the mesquites and even the highly sought after huajilla blooms, they all offer their unique flavors and colors in the honey they produce. Some say the huajilla honey actually has healing properties. We have bees in more than one area, so we have "local honey" from multiple counties. Contact Us to find out what we currently have available. Apiary Maintenance - Honey Bee Hive Management Services Whether our customers already have hives they want managed, or we remove bees from a customer's location, then they want to keep their bees there, but do not want to personally maintain them, we can help. We offer the option to leave the bees on their property to pollinate the crops, gardens, flowers and trees in their area. As part of this service, we have Bee Hive Kits and Supplies to get started. In the case of relocating from a structure into bee hives, we remove the bees from a wall, shed, tree or other location and put them into a standard bee hive. We help with the location and set-up of the apiary and the new hives in a location out of the way of normal foot traffic and pets somewhere on the customer's property. We also offer to help manage hives for customer that may have special needs or be physically unable or even be away on travel for extended periods. In either case, we offer a maintenance agreement to monitor and maintain the hive to what ever extent is right for the customer.
