A friend told me you can get them through Tractor Supply. Two houses down from me, the couple has 10 bee houses/boxes(?)....

Look up your local bee club and see if they have any queens you can buy off them. They will also give you good advice depending on the area you live in.

Usually listed on craigslist fyi. Or as said find anything local bee related, and they will know.

Check with Ed Beard who owns Ed's Shenandoah Hardware. I know he used to carry bee keeping supplies and has several hives of his own. He lives somewhere out in LP.

He has some hives for sale now. And he has a pretty good selection of supplies.

George from “Got a Bee Problem Call George” had a bad stroke and doesn’t fool with them anymore. (You see his yellow and black signs everywhere)

There is a guy in East Feliciana on Plank Road about 3 Miles north of highway 412 on the west side that sells them.

Also a guy on Cedarcrest between Old Hammond Hwy and I-12 that sells.

My wife has half a dozen hives and should harvest about 50 gallons or so end of July. Good stuff.
