Bee Adoption

Our bees are born and raised in Jackson County in Southern Oregon and travel only as far as they can fly. Yep, we get a little snobby that they stay away from the bee-world frat parties in California during the almond pollination. We encourage our bees to make their own queens and we suspect we are near a drone congregation area shared by honeybees from several apiaries near us. We hope that speaks to you about the quality of our bees. We love our bees and that's why we prefer to put them up for adoption. Expect to be vetted before we let you take our kids home with you, and we also expect you to ask good questions before investing in our girls. You are making a commitment to take care of a family with 20,000 to 50,000 individuals. It's an investment. Investing in your bee education is something we expect from anyone adopting our bees. If you need education, we do that too, so click below for that.
