As any experienced beekeeper will quickly tell you, the word beekeeper is a misnomer. We don't keep bees in cages or on leashes. We have little control of their welfare; we only influence it in the hope of some reward such as honey and pollination. This symbiotic relationship can be elusive and occasionally challenging.
Our passion at Hive & Garden is to help you navigate through the challenges and decisions of beekeeping, such as type of hive, type of honeybee, and approach to colony management. All these decisions present a trade-off in hive management. Our mission is to help you understand these trade-offs, and pick the type of beekeeping that feels right for you.
With the demise of Brushy Moutain Bee Farm in October in November 2018, we have been scrambling to reform the Ruhl Bee Supply store. We don't have time to bring back the old Ruhl this season, so our first priority is to make sure you have access to local product as well as nucs, packages and queens.
