We've been beekeeping since 1980. For the past 30 years, we've gathered considerable experience in the art of beekeeping. When we moved as kids to Fairfield in Northern California, we lived near a neighbor who was a beekeeper. We didn't know it at the time, but one day one of his swarms landed in our garden. And the rest is history.

We grew the number of our hives we started selling local honey and startedpolinating Almond orchards in Ripon, CA. As adventurous kids we rented U-haul trucks to transport our hives and did all the back breaking work by hand.

We've grown to larger amount of hives and much better equipment. We've harvested all kinds of Honey through out California, Nevada, and even South Dakota. For the past 9 years we've been transforming our buisness to specialize in raising high quality queen bees and package bees.
