About the Program
Through our micro-loaning system, we pay Sweetacre Apiaries up front 80% of the cost of the nucs, and in return, Bill has supplied bees on schedule and in pristine quality for over a decade. We here at ABC Bees, provide the inspections, transport, communication, and education to support our purchasers with the confidence to keep these wonderful bees.
About the Program
We have developed a system to ensure that these priorities occur in our Collaborative Purchase of honey bees annually. We are bringing in 300 nucleus colonies in 2025 and we are eager and excited to engage YOU and help you meet your beekeeping goals.
