Certified. Tested. Proven. Best Bees in Southern California—Period.
Here are the facts: Every hive we manage is genetically tested and 100% free of Africanized genetics. From our regenerative breeding hives to our honey production hives—not a single hive goes untested. Our queens produce more brood, more honey and do better in the hot summer days as well as cooler winters. We have run 15 other queen lines, including AHB, rescue, survivor, and every variation and changing narative in between. Field testing for over the past 5 years. We are done and locked in.
This is how we confidently supply Southern California with the best nucs in the business. Our bees are gentle, highly productive pollinators, and when managed correctly, our beekeepers regularly pull in over 100 lbs ++ of honey per hive, per season.
And yes—they show strong mite resistance. We are locked in to produce over 200lbs in some hives at the end of the year. And if managed correctly - in all the hives next season. Less hives to manged that yield more of everything, with less mites- thats a win win.
We’ve got the science to back it up.
We’re proud to be the only Certified Zero Africanized Bee Yard in Southern California.
