The Valley Hive

The Valley Hive Beekeeping Services and Supplies and the best local honey around! All too often, bees find you. We are bee lovers. Equally, we love beekeepers.

They move into one of your walls or you witness a swarm moving across your yard. Perhaps you bought, for the first time, honey from a local beekeeper and you catch yourself asking the same question over and over again: “Can I be a beekeeper?”

We are here to provide that answer, as well as provide the means to help you discover the solutions to challenges in beekeeping. From helping you pick o

ut the right bee suit to extracting your first honey harvest, The Valley Hive is here every step along your way. We are dedicated to providing all bee enthusiasts in Southern California with a hive of their own. We are here to educate, sell high quality beekeeping products, provide extraordinary service customized to your needs, and share the passion we have for the bees. Anyone who is as enthralled as we are about bees deserves a place to learn about them, acquire quality equipment to take care of them, and the service to guide you for as long as you need. Not all bee situations are the same, nor are all people. Custom tailored solutions to managing the bees in your apiary, whether at an orchard or a back yard, are what we specialize in. We are in this stinging insect thing together. Unlike some of your closest friends and family, we get it. So welcome to The Valley Hive, and thank you for being a part of this and doing what you can to save the buzz. Come visit us and sample our raw, local honey from our bee hives located all around Southern California. Once you taste our 100% all natural, unfiltered, and unprocessed honey, you will never want grocery store honey again!

For beekeepers, regular hive inspections are imperative. When going through the frames, it is not necessary to see the queen every time. We are just looking for evidence of an existing laying queen. In the frame pictured, there are tiny eggs in the cells showing that the queen has been here in the past 3 days. Can you spot the eggs that look like tiny grains of rice inside the hexagon shaped cells? Any questions?

In one of our apiaries:
Did you know that just before the swarm leaves the colony, the bees devour honey so they are able to live for some time as they search for a new home. It can be surprising how much these little fat bees can weigh! As you see here, the weight of the cluster weighed down the metal post. ....... or........... our beekeeper accidentally ran over said post while moving bees at night

The first day of spring marks a time of renewal, as warmer temperatures and longer daylight hours awaken nature from its winter slumber. For honeybees, this change signals the start of a busy season. As flowers bloom and trees bud, bees emerge from their hives in search of nectar and pollen, essential for feeding their colony and producing honey. The abundance of food sources strengthens the hive, supporting new generations of worker bees. Spring also brings increased activity within the hive, as the queen begins laying more eggs to replenish the population after winter. With nature in full bloom, honeybees play a vital role in pollinating plants, ensuring the cycle of growth and renewal continues.
