2027 Spring Bees and Classes

For 2027 spring bees and queens we expanded a partnership with Han's Honey in the mountains of Valley View, PA. Hans Honey will be offering 5-frame deep ($195) nucs that are based on Latshaw Italian and Little Mountain Bees genetics for approximately mid April pickup in Valley View, PA or Carlisle, PA. For nuc ordering, you can reserve that here on Hans Honey's website here. 2027 package bees with marked Latshaw Carniolan queens ($149) will be available in mid-late March (pickup locations near Carlisle and Norristown, PA). Exact package bee pickup dates will be finalized in March (very weather dependent). Package bees can be pre-ordered here.

We will have a limited number of overwintered Pol-line queens available in March 2027 and our 2027 queens available in April. In order to provide these early bees and queens, we are together moving over 550 colonies, nucs, and breeder queens to the rural panhandle of Florida from mid-December until mid-April. Because of the volume of our own genetics in the bee yards, what is produced will be very similar to what we produce during the season in PA. 

We will hold 2 hybrid beginner beekeeping courses with a choice of Saturday, May 15 (Carlisle, PA) and Sunday, May 16, Valley View, PA. These will be both classroom and hands-on classes and can be reserved here.
