Providing a quick update on this year’s honey harvest. As you may have heard, U.S. commercial honeybee stocks have been hit an eighteen-year high in Colony losses. We have also been impacted and experienced an 80% loss in our hives coming into the 2025 Se...

Bad News On Fall Honey

Bad news ya'll, no Fall honey harvest this year. The bees will need what they have currently to get through the winter. We'll be back in the Spring!

Settling Into a New Home

The feral hive is settling into their new home. Feral feels like a misnomer, as these bees are very sweet and not aggressive. The queen has been marked and she is already laying fresh eggs in the hive. With luck, they should have no problem surviving the ...

Feral Bees Rescued From Hollow Tree

We recently had the opportunity to relocate a feral hive from a hollow tree log. It was a lot of hard work and quite the adventure. After using a specialized vacuum to remove the bees, we were able to split the long to reveal a cool glimpse of how bees li...

What We Do

Honey

Easily our tastiest offering, see what Biscuit and the bees made this season. Reach out to see the locations of our self service stands or the local events we're attending!

Bees/Starter Hives

Start a delicious and rewarding hobby today. Biscuit has bees to share, contact us to reserve a starter hive (called a NUC) of gentle stock. Our bees are a hardy mix breed; productive, disease and pest resistance, and not prone to swarming. Email us for details!

Swarm Removals

Swarming is how honey bees find a new home, but sometimes they decide to co-op our homes, cars, and structures in the process. While swarms tend to move on after a brief rest, sometimes the bees chose to stay. Contact us to help find them a more appropriate home!

Queens

For those with existing hives and in need of queens: our bees are a hardy mix breed; productive, disease and pest resistance, and not prone to swarming. Email us for details!

I'd like to order a NUC or a mated queen - How can I place an order?

Contact us at info@biscuitsbees.com to place an order. Our NUCs are $180, including a ProNUC box and five drawn choice frames. Our queens are $40, come mated and marked. We currently only sell NUCs and queens on pre-order. We recommend placing orders in early Spring for current season or during the Fall/Winter for next year's season.

What do I need to get started beekeeping?

You can start beekeeping with as little as a veil, gloves, and a hive tool. Most people tend to start their journey by finding a local beekeeping club, mentor, or learning through books, YouTube, and other sources. Next step is generally to get a starter hive of bees either as a Package (loose bees sold by weight) or a NUC (a small established hive).

I have a swarm on my property - What do I do?

While swarms tend to move on after a brief rest, sometimes the bees chose to stay. Do not approach swarming bees, while swarmed bees are typically not aggressive, they may sting if they feel threatened or are disturbed. Contact us at info@biscuitsbees.com to help find them a new home. We cannot guarantee that we can help you, but we may be able to offer you a referral to other beekeepers in the area.

I am interested in having a managed hive for my organization - How do I get started?
