Purchase Bees
Our Honey bees are - small cell, organically managed mix of European genetics - Italian, Russian, German and Carniolan. These are NOT a pure strain, which is a good thing for diversity and overall health. They are as close to catching your own wild swarms as you can get.
Raw, never heated, microfilterd or dehydrated. No chemical treatments or sugar feeding- ever! Far from big Ag pesticides, a rich biodiversity of forage for our local bees, managed in a cruelty free way.
We sell our honey by the pound and we have less than 100 jars available at this time. Please call / text or email to order.
I want to share with you some of the natural and treatment free beekeepers out there that have shaped the way I currently manage bees. If you want to learn sustainable beekeeping practices, this is a great starting point. Watch their youtube videos & check out their web sites - I also teach treatment free beekeeping here on our homestead.

Dr Leo Sharshkin
I’m convinced that this is the gold standard of keeping bees in deep horizontal hives called Layens Hives. Dr Leo has a book called “Keeping Bees with a Smile” that I highly reccomend & has free plans for Layens hives on his website too.
Michael Bush
Michael has an excellent web site and book for anyone who wants to learn treatment free beekeeping.
Jason Bruns
Jason has lots of good info on swarm trapping, and also practices treatment free management. He also has free plans on his site, and some great podcasts on youtube.

Honey bees are such complex and fascinating creatures that one could spend a lifetime studying them and still not learn all there is to know about them. What do you think - did honey bees come into to existence by accident or were they put on earth for a purpose? Does it even matter? If you like science and enjoy gathering evidence to reach conclusions you may enjoy the 2 publications below. Just click on the picture to access and download from the publishers web site.

Constructive Beekeeping
I have yet to finish this book, but so far I’m getting some really good information on the right amount of ventilation if any is needed for a hive and how too much can even be detrimental.
We have devoted 10 acres of our property as “Honey Bee Pastures”. We plant clovers and other wild flowers that are in short supply to the honey bee. We also scientifically explore the best possible way to keep honey bees naturally and sustainably and are working tirelessly to expand the local honey bee populations all over the world. Would you like help out? Thanks in advance for your kindness! Enjoy Beekeeping - Gene Rene’
