Why Our Bees?
Our location is critical to our bees’ success. Constant access to beautiful sunny weather and ample amounts of forage allow our bees to thrive and provide our customers with the best quality bees and queens available. Most of our honeybees home in Sonoma County and Solano County and surrounding regions.
Our Queens
Available starting April 2021.
Our queens are bred and raised from locally adapted stock that have been strictly screened for their hygienic behavior, docileness, and honey production capabilities. Our queens are openly mated in Yolo & Solano counties. We encourage drone development in our survivor stock colonies near the range of our queen mating nucs to allow our preferred genetics from the survivor stock drones to carry through to our queens.
Breeding quality queens is very important to us. Due to our strict breeding program, we will have a limited supply of queens available for purchase for spring 2020. We highly encourage pre-ordering in advance to ensure your needs are fulfilled. Please fill out our Queen & Package Request form to place an order and a representative will contact you within 48 hours to complete the order. Please specify if you would like a local pick up at our Dixon, CA location or if you need your order shipped to you. Queens can be delivered to your location via UPS Next Day Air or 2nd Day Air for an additional shipping fee
