Mikes Bees and Honey, Home of Quality Queen bees, Nucleus Colonies, Pure Fresh Honey, Beeswax Bars, Observation Hives and Honeybee Removal Services.

WELCOME to Mikes Bees and Honey! The Home of Quality Queen Bees! Russian, Italian, Cordovan, Carniolan, Minnesota Hygienic, and Breeder Queens, Instrumentally Inseminated Queen Bees! I offer Custom Insemination services, Nucleus Colonies, 4 frame Nucs, Fresh Drone Semen, Pure Honey, Beeswax Bars, Observation Hives and Hardwood Bee Equipment, Honeybee removal services. I emphasize Quality over quantity and non use of chemicals in the bee hives as this I believe is NOT good for the bees or us. I am in Northern Ohio, about 2 hours from the Canadian border. My Queen Bees are NOT MASS PRODUCED and "culls" are destroyed as they would not be good producers. Genetic selection and Instrumental Insemination are the basis for my Queens and they are raised from the gentlest hives that are mite resistant and winter hardy and outstanding producers!

Our Apiary here in Northern Ohio!

I also have bee removal services available both for swarms and removal from buildings and also have available hand built Observation hives and quality beekeeping equipment, made from walnut, cherry and oak wood and other hardwoods ! Even the frames are also of the same type of wood as the hive ordered! I again thank you for stopping by my site and looking at my products where I emphasize Quality over quantity!
