Why aren’t you working with a local bee company?

Choosing the right beekeeping and pollinator partner should be about more than just maintaining hives. It should be about making a meaningful impact.

At Oak Cliff Bee Company, we believe in:

• Supporting our community and the people who make it thrive.
• Creating meaningful community engagement opportunities.
• Providing locally produced honey from the bees we care for.
• Promoting sustainability and protecting our pollinators.
• Building lasting relationships through service, education, and giving back.

When you work with us, you’re investing in more than a service. You’re partnering with a company that genuinely cares about the community it serves.

Where flowers bloom, bees thrive!

There’s something special about seeing nature at work. From beautiful blooms to busy bees doing what they do best, every photo tells a story about the important role pollinators play in our environment.

We’re proud to support healthy hives, thriving landscapes, and a more sustainable future — one bee at a time.

Want to bring a little more buzz to your property? Whether you’re interested in beekeeping, pollinator habitats, or creating a unique experience for your tenants, we’d love to help.

Some of the best connections at a property start with a little curiosity—and a few thousand bees.

At Oak Cliff Bee Company, we bring tenants together through memorable, hands-on experiences. Meeting the bees and the beekeeper, suiting up for a guided hive tour, and learning to make mead are just a few of the events we offer.

Each experience gives people a reason to step away from their desks, meet their neighbors, and try something new together.

For property teams, these events help build community, encourage tenant engagement, and add value people can experience firsthand. The bees become part of the property’s story, giving tenants something to connect with throughout the year.

What if your property had something tenants actually remembered?

Tenant events can be forgettable—or they can create real connection to the property.

At Oak Cliff Bee Company, we help commercial properties, companies, and schools bring bees, sustainability, and local engagement to life.

From professionally managed beehives on your property to unique tenant experiences and educational events, we make it easy to turn an unused space into something people can connect with.

Do your beehives look like an afterthought—or a work of art?

At Oak Cliff Bee Company, we believe your beehives should add to your property—not detract from it.

That’s why we partnered with local street artist Felipe Romero to transform these hives into a true showpiece.

Instead of something tenants walk past, we created something they notice, talk about, and remember.

Because great tenant engagement is about more than amenities. It’s about creating experiences that make people proud of where they work and spend their time.

If you’re looking for a differentiator that separates good properties from great ones, let’s make your beehives part of the experience.

We just got the science back on our honey.

Texas A&M's Palynology Research Lab counted the pollen in honey samples from across Dallas–Fort Worth — grain by grain, under the microscope — to reveal exactly what our bees are foraging.

Some hives produced a rich, wildly diverse honey: sumac, wild carrot, Virginia creeper, mustard, willow, all in one jar. Others came back as clean single-source honeys — 98% from one bloom. Every site told a different story.

That's the whole point of hyper-local honey: a hive's jar is a direct fingerprint of the landscape around it — and now we can prove it in a lab report, not just a marketing line.

Grateful to Dr. Heather Thakar and the Texas A&M team.

Most bee providers stop at "we put hives on your roof." Bare-minimum beekeeping gets you a jar with no chain of custody.

Oak Cliff Bee Company hands you Texas A&M lab results—a story you can include in your ESG report, backed by science at no extra cost.

Healthy hives do not happen by accident—and neither do better bees.

This year, we have invested more intentionally in queen genetics across our operation.

We source production queens from programs including Golden West and Indian Summer Honey Farm, and we work with CNC Honey Farm, whose colonies are built on Latshaw Apiaries genetics. Each line brings different strengths: temperament, brood production, honey production, overwintering ability, hygienic behavior, and the ability to better manage Varroa pressure.

But good genetics are only one part of good beekeeping.

North and Central Texas bring a long brood season, intense heat, dearth, drifting, and heavy Varroa pressure. There is no single “treatment-free” queen or shortcut that solves all of that.

Our goal is straightforward: colonies calm enough for schools, hotels, rooftops, and public-facing properties—while remaining productive, resilient, and healthy going into fall.

That means measuring what matters:
• Consistent mite testing
• Queen retention and brood quality
• Temperament during inspections
• Honey production
• Swarm tendency
• Performance through summer dearth
• Fall strength and overwintering success

You do not improve bees by guessing. You improve them by testing, tracking, selecting, and continually raising the bar.

Ask your bee provider:

What queen genetics are they using, and why?
How often are they testing for Varroa?
Can they show you the results?
What are they doing to improve the long-term health and performance of your hives?

Healthy hives are not a promise. They are the result of consistent care, thoughtful genetics, and accountable management.

Is your bee provider REALLY taking care of the bees?

As we wrap up this year’s honey harvest, the real work continues behind the scenes: testing Varroa mite loads, documenting colony health, and treating when the numbers call for it.

Varroa mites are one of the biggest threats facing honey bees today. They weaken colonies directly and spread viruses that can quickly turn a strong-looking hive into a failing one. Left unmanaged, mites can overwhelm a colony—especially as bees begin preparing for fall and winter.

This year, much of our mite management will use oxalic acid (OA)—an organic acid naturally found in plants such as spinach—applied through vaporization and extended-release methods.

We are also evaluating newer tools, including Norroa’s RNA-based treatment and Apivar 2.0, as part of our ongoing effort to protect colony health and improve outcomes.

Healthy hives do not happen by accident. They require consistent inspections, testing instead of guessing, timely feeding, space management, queen evaluation, and responsible mite control.

Honey is what people see. Bee care is everything happening behind the scenes.

Ask your bee provider:

When was the last time they tested your hives for Varroa?
Can they show you the actual test results and mite counts?
Are they testing consistently throughout the season—not just once?
What is their treatment plan when mite levels rise?

Because if they cannot answer those questions, are they really taking care of your bees?

Beekeepers do CPE too.

This week, Shannon is in Connecticut completing her Level 1 Honey Sommelier certification, training under Marina Marchese, the leading voice in honey tasting and sensory education.

Honey is a lot more than “sweet.” It tells the story of a place — the flowers, the season, the weather, and the bees that made it.

At Oak Cliff Bee Company, we’re always working to get better at both sides of the craft: caring for bees and helping people understand the value of what they produce. We’re committed to bringing the best knowledge, experience, and service we can to our customers.

Proud of Shannon for continuing to sharpen her skills and bring that knowledge back to our clients, chefs, students, and community partners.
