Tom's Bees & Supplies

Bees

Our underlying premise is that "healthy local bees are the best bees." We have based our honey bee farm practices upon this belief. We developed our bees using the best performing of numerous Carniolan honey bee gene pools. The Queen bees are reared and open-mated in our drone-flooded mating yards. Tom’s bees are hardy, excellent foragers, gentle, and overwinter well. The result of our apiary management system is a "Uniquely Long Island Honey Bee."

Equipment

Why do pollinators visit flowers?

We offer custom-built wood hive boxes, frames, and mating nuc boxes.

The flowers produce nectar, a sugary liquid that pollinators love to drink. They also eat some of the pollen as it’s full of protein. The bright colours and scent of the flowers tells the pollinators there’s lots of yummy nectar and pollen inside! In some plants, pollination takes place in the evening so that’s why plants like honeysuckle and jasmine smell gorgeous when it’s getting dark.

Specialty Items

We harvest our own specialty items in limited quantity.

Beeswax is sold by the pound, propolis is sold by the container (jelly jar), and pollen is sold by weight and packed in a bag.
