Our bee business is booming or should I say buzzing, but we need a break. So Our offices will be closed May 22 - May 29.

No orders will be shipped during this time and any orders placed during this time will be shipped within 10-14 business days after we return so please place your orders with this in mind. Hope to see you at our Beekeeping Institute June 17-21 here at our honey bee farm. Come spend the week with us!
