We offer premium package bees, nucleus colonies (nucs), and queen bees. Our queen lines include locally raised stock and genetics from Italian, Carniolan, Saskatraz, and Golden West (Randy Oliver) programs. All bees are bred for gentleness, productivity, and Varroa mite resistance.

We use a data-driven hive management system tracking individual hive performance, temperament, and mite loads. Breeding decisions are based on measurable traits to improve gentleness, productivity, and Varroa resistance. We prioritize organic treatments and sustainable practices to maintain colony health.

We provide professional pollination services across Colorado and New Mexico, supporting orchards, clover, seed crops, and other pollination-dependent plants. Our hives are healthy, locally managed, and deployed to meet critical bloom periods.

Local Colorado raw honey and creamed honey are available for purchase online. Customers can order directly through our website or contact us for subscription options and delivery details.

Our breeding program operates like a modern livestock system, using detailed data collection on each hive to select the best traits. We focus on Varroa mite resistance, gentleness, and productivity, rather than relying on traditional anecdotal methods. This leads to stronger, more resilient colonies over time.

Yes, our queen bees, including Italian and Carniolan lines, are certified free from Africanized genetics and Small Hive Beetle, ensuring safe and reliable stock for our customers.

Packages are ideal for starting new hives with a group of bees and a queen. Nucs are small established colonies with brood, bees, and a queen, providing a faster start. Queens are for requeening or breeding. Your choice depends on your experience, timing, and hive needs.

Yes, we provide free consultations and educational workshops to support new and experienced beekeepers. These cover topics like Varroa management, sustainable hive practices, and bee health strategies.

We prioritize breeding bees with natural Varroa resistance and use organic treatments only when necessary. Our data-driven approach helps minimize reliance on synthetic miticides, promoting colony health and sustainability.

Absolutely. Our bees are bred for commercial viability with consistent performance metrics. We understand commercial constraints and offer reliable genetics and pollination services tailored for larger operations.

Our honey is raw, locally sourced, and minimally processed, preserving natural enzymes and pollen. Buying local supports regional agriculture, bee conservation, and ensures freshness and traceability.

Being based in Pueblo positions us to serve beekeepers and farmers across Colorado and New Mexico efficiently. We understand local climate challenges and adapt our breeding and management accordingly.
