Queen Bees + Nucs

We now carry queens and nucs  for pick up only. These are the same stock we use in our own bee yards! We also offer all the equipment you will need to house your bees. Choose your pickup date range and plan your visit to our new honey ranch!

For all 2025 queen pickup dates, you will be notified of the exact date and time 1-2 weeks before pick up. All nucs will be available in April 2025.
We will notify you of pick up date options in March 2025.

In need of equipment, tools, or protective gear? We have that too! You can order your equipment in advance or pick up all you need at our one-stop shop.

Two Hives Honey has been a life saver on my journey to becoming a successful beekeeper. Recommended by a friend, I've attended several classes, virtual for now, been able to purchase equipment locally, and most importantly, the wealth of knowledge and support when the unexpected happens is not easily found. Recently signed up for their Fall Apprenticeship program to continue my education into this fascinating world of beekeeping. And, their honeycomb honey is amazing, looking forward to a harvest of my own.
