QUEENS TO MAXIMIZE POLLINATION CONTRACTS POLLINATION AND/OR A BUMPER HONEY CROP! OUR QUEENS ARE GREAT FOR HOBBYISTS AS WELL.
For both a veteran commercial beekeeper desiring to maximize honey production, and almond pollination; or a hobbyist looking for a few queens to get back up and running, our queens outperform.
Unlike most apiaries, we maximize revenue streams by producing queens suitable for queen production, almond pollination, and honey production. As you know, this requires robust honeybee populations, suitable for mite load management, disease resistance, and foraging capabilities.
Since 1974, with wisdom and guidance from many predecessor beekeepers, through fires, floods, and every other possible problem a honeybee could conjure, our apiary has survived. With some good luck and perseverance, we’ve convinced three generations of involved family members into attending to our honeybees.
We are very passionate about honeybees and enjoy learning from, educating, and supporting other beekeepers in their practice of beekeeping.
Thank you for your support and we are excited to share our love for honeybees with you.
Sincerely,
Selby Family
