Where to Find Honey Bees for Sale: Directory Listings of Bee SuppliersUse our directory to find honey bees for sale. Whether you’re looking for package bees, queen bees, or nucs, you can use our directory of bee suppliers to quickly and easily find what you need.To make it easy to find bee suppliers close to you that offer queen bees, package bees, or nucs, we’ve created our directory of bee suppliers – a one-stop shopping directory for buying bees! Quite often, one of the first questions that beginning beekeepers have is “where can I get bees?” But in case you didn’t know, there are many companies in the business of raising honey bees for sale. In fact, you can often have honey bees shipped right to you. Bees In a Package?The most common method of selling and shipping bees is in screened packages. You can order your bees by the pound (2-pound and 3-pound packages are most commonly available) and have them shipped to your post office or a nearby pickup point. When you order a package of bees, a queen is included. You’ll install the bees in your hive, and within a short while, the queen will be laying eggs. Mini-Hives Are Available, TooMany package bee suppliers offer honey bees in miniature hives, called nucs (short for nucleus). Nucs usually come with 4 or 5 combs of bees. You just take the combs out of the nuc box and place them in your hive box, and you instantly have a working colony, complete with a laying queen. It’s an easy way of getting your beehive started. Nucs aren’t available from all bee suppliers, though. And nucs usually aren’t shipped, and must be picked up directly from the bee supplier. How to Use Our Directory of Bee Suppliers Offering Honey Bees for SaleOur directory of suppliers offering honey bees for sale is divided into 3 sections: a section for package bee suppliers, a section for nuc suppliers, and a section for suppliers that sell individual queens. If a supplier sells all three: packages, nucs and queens, then that supplier will be listed in all three sections of the directory. Suppliers that don’t sell all three will only be listed in the appropriate directory.
