Common Issues and Resources for new and developing beekeepers.
Recently attended an introductory beekeeping class as well as purchased products from their store. Would definitely recommend taking a class if you would like to take up beekeeping. The shop of theirs is full of all the honey and bee products you can imagine- lotion bars, lip balms, royal jelly products, ointments, beeswax candles, and a huge variety of local and afar honey varieties to sample and purchase. Full of beekeeping supplies as well to help you start your own hive!

The place to go in Sonoma County for bee supplies, training, and other bee-related merchandise. Picked up our new bee hive and very pleased with the process. The staff make sure you’re well prepared if you’re just getting into bee keeping, and they have a wealth of material and videos on their website to help you through the process!
