Check out if interested in starting out!

Spring Nuc prices seem to come out earlier and earlier every year.
With that being said we did have to raise prices like I’m seeing and hearing about all over Missouri. (I feel your pain when I see these prices)
But I strong believe in selling quality over the cheapest option on the market. Which I’m proud to say we are selling Nucs again from Paul's Honey Farm. And let me tell you the quality on these are fantastic. I’d bet them against any other Nucs being sold. Makes my heart skip a beat when I open up these Nucs and look at them every spring.
And to save y’all a little cash for Christmas or the gas tank. Pre-payment or a $100 cash deposit before December 15th and I’ll knock $10 off!
Equipment Kits?🧐 Yes, we will have them! But I’m still finalizing some things (Fingers Crossed i have some great ideas to provide something new to everyone if I can get it lined out). I will have those out at soon as I can but Please go ahead and get your deposit down so we can save you that $10 per Nuc.

Lawrence, KS first bee program!!

META’s trainer Dr. Robert Brooks is working with Lawrence Parks and Recreation to sustain the honeybee population within the city.
Honeybees are on the decline due to mites, viruses, bacteria, mold and other unknown problems such as Colony Collapse Disorder.

Dr. Robert Brooks under an MOA with Parks and Rec is putting swarm trap boxes in many of the 52 parks within the city. Normally during Swarming season (May thru July) the swarms are entering houses instead of tree holes where they are often exterminated.

To avoid this loss of valuable pollinators, Dr. Brooks catching and relocating these swarms. Currently 16 parks have boxes and over a dozen swarms have been caught.

This program is unique and is not done anywhere else in the US. One of the strategic goals of the city is SUSTAINABILITY. This program fits nicely along with recycling and composting.

Sunflower Publishing will be doing a story on the nation’s first bee rescue program.

Lawrence Journal World and Lawrence Magazine are going to cover more details about this program. We will be sharing more with you in the near future.
