Beekeeping Basics
-
Group and Private Classes
We offer group classes that provide the basic information and instructions needed to
get started in beekeeping.
Honeybees 101 for
adults and youth as well. Bees can be fun 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 segment
over an active hive - where you will learn to identify the various makings of
the hive, including locating the queen and finding her eggs as well as learning
first hand the difference in sealed and unsealed brood and capped honey, nectar
and pollen.
Visit our
Educational (Information & Resources Pages) for
an overview of the "Basic" information we cover in the class.
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 if needed. 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 - We are a bee farm and work our bees at more
than one location. We do not have a store for "walk in shopping", therefore all
equipment and bee pickups are on scheduled pickup dates or by appointment only.
Thanks for understanding.
Honey Bees
The Spring is
the most common time of the year for starting new colonies and making spits
that produce additional hives of honeybee. We're seeing a late Spring bloom
this year in many areas.
