• Healthy, strong and productive colonies in well-maintained equipment.

• Grower/Keeper Inspection of Colonies, so you know our bees are performing to your standards.

• Pre-placement planning so our bees are in your orchards or fields when you need them, where you need them. 

• Sensible contracts, with option for automatic renewals.

• Year-round communication so you know if our services will continue to meet your needs. 

Please contact us with your location, required number of colonies, estimated required delivery and removal dates, and a daytime/evening phone number, and we'll provide you with a quote. If we can't help you out, we'll help you connect with the right beekeeper!

We're also happy to assist other beekeepers in fulfilling their own pollination contracts.

Pollination Resources:

Evaluating Honey Bees for Pollination: OSU Extension Service. Grading colonies for Oregon and Washington Orchard and Field colonies. (We set the bar even higher for our own pollination colonies).

How To Reduce Bee Poisoning from Pesticides: Important information tailored for Pacific Northwest growers and beekeepers. (PDF).

Sample Pollination Contract & Pesticide Toxicity Handout: Purdue University (PDF) Similar to our own contract. We believe a good contract protects both the grower and the beekeeper.

Apiculture News: Dr. Eric Mussen's newsletter, UC Davis. Excellent information for both growers and beekeepers.
