Honey Bees
Get in touch with us to find out how to get started in the world of honey bees.
Traditional
Our Honey Bees Are Locally Bred
Our farm has been raising local honey bees since the 70s. We pride ourselves in keeping strong healthy hives and breeding calm, hygienic, winter hearty genetics. New beekeepers buying bees from us are given a short course on the farm because we want them to succeed. We also want to make sure the colonies that they take home with them get the proper attention and care that they deserve. We work really hard to keep our bees healthy and strong and want to ensure they are well taken care of when they leave our farm.
Nucleus Colonies
We are a New Brunswick supplier of starter honey bee colonies which are often referred to as “nucs”. Each nuc contains 4-5 frames with bees on them, 2 frames of brood, a frame of honey, and an extra
frame for the queen to lay.
Climatized
Survivability of harsh east coast winters is one of the traits we look for in our queens. Breeding from proven queens ensures strong genetics.
Local
Our bees are New Brunswick raised. Our queens are bred from our own unique stock. Each year we
raise around 500 queens from hives carefully selected within our apiaries. We select hives for gentleness, brood pattern, winter hardiness and disease resistance.
Experience
The Joy of Beekeeping
Beekeeping is a rewarding hobby. It lets you escape the daily grind and spend time with your bees. This time with nature is good for your soul. Harvesting your own honey at the end of the season is a great feeling. Plus, having a strong and happy bee colony ready for winter makes all the hard work worth it.
When you buy honey bees from us, you can expect top-quality results. Our bees are healthy and productive. They will help you enjoy beekeeping and get the most honey. Get your honey bees from us between May and June annually and start your beekeeping journey!
