FAQ

No. Our raw honey and other products are only available here on our website. Why? We are a small batch beekeeping operation with only a few hives. We do not pack "repackage" others beekeepers honey product.

No. Organic honey according to USDA is very hard to come by. I use only organic mite treatments, but I do not control where the bees forage. Most organic honey that you'll find is a false statement or is shipped in from over seas with an organic label. It is not to USDA standards. Who knows what nectar and pollen sources they visited. I am sure it is not in or around San Ramon Valley area.

Yes. I would first reach out to the Mount Diablo Beekeepers Association. They have a link on the main page and you can find a local keeper on the swarm call list. Not all of us will answer as we could be busy. Keep calling down the list as you should get a hold someone in town or the next town over. Honest. We are here to help and be your bee ambassador to your neighborhood.

No. I am not a licensed contractor or insured to do structure removals. I can refer you to someone who does. I can give you as much information about bees as I can, possibly take infrared pictures, but nothing much more then that.

Those are NOT bees. Bees are vegan. They only go after pollen and nectar from flowers. Wasps, hornets and yellow jackets go after protein that might also be on your plate. They are jerks. There are a few ways to combat them on a small scale without using pesticides. I use traps, fake wasp nests and fly spinners to keep them away from my BBQs plates.

Maybe. It depends on a few factors including what town you are located in, HOA, neighbors, land area and other site factors. Honey bees are considered livestock and would be registered with the department of AG. Myself or a beekeeper will need access for inspections. We can talk and see if any of this is a good fit. Another option is to make sure you have a pollinator friendly yard.
