Commercial Pollination Services
The decline of natural colonies of honeybees in hollow trees because of mites, has meant that it is crucial to moved managed hives of honeybees to fields for successful pollination.  It is no secret that many visits by honeybees to blossoms will produce larger fruit and more uniform fruit, and the latest research demonstrates that there is also an improved shelf life.   Missed blossoms will result in no fruit, or poor quality fruit.  Investing into pollination will result in improved quality and quantity of fruit, and translate into higher profits. 

We specialize in pollinating fruit crops in the spring, such as cherries, pears, apricots and apples. 
Our Spring rates vary from $50 - $75 per hive. 

During the summer we move hives into fields for the pollination of blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cucumbers, and melons.
Our Summer rates vary on the length of stay of the hives, between $100-$125. 

Honey bee colonies that are rented out are checked for queen presence, strength, food supply , disease status, to ensure a quality workforce for the grower. 

Commercial Bee Pollen
We specialize in supplying food industry with large quantities of dry and fresh frozen bee pollen.  During the summer we are collecting pollen daily from our beehives, and immediately freezing it.  We clean it while it is frozen and ship it frozen, this ensures that it is the freshest possible, and maintained at the highest quality.  Contact us to place an order. We ship in 55 lb. boxes and 300 lb. barrels.
