We are now selling queens!

Our queens sell out fast. We are now selling queens, $28 if you order online and $32 when you call in your order.
When you order online we pay less salaries to process your order so we pass these savings on to our valued
customers. Is your queen questionable?  Maybe she pulled your hive through the winter, but does she have what
it takes to rapidly expand your hive? A new, young queen may be just the boost your hive is waiting on.

Visit our NEW Queen Corner to order your queen and also to find
tips on finding your queen and how to introduce your new queen.
