Packages Of Bees Go On Sale In 2 Days!

We are David and Sheri Burns and we operate a small family business in Illinois. Here we are at Christmas with 3 of our 11 grandchildren. Your support is greatly appreciated in a time when most people are no longer supporting small USA family businesses. Happy Holidays!

One way you can support our business is by taking one of our online beekeeping courses. Our two most popular online beekeeping courses are:

The Ultimate Beekeeping Course and The New Beginner's Bundle

Sheri and I get so excited when we see someone has purchased one of these courses because we know they will have a much better chance with their beekeeping endeavors.

We are just a couple of days away from the New Year, 2020!  

Packages go on sale Jan. 1st, 2 Days, and will sell out fast! Our 3 lb packages with a mated queen received great reviews from our customers last year. Our customers raved over how gentle our packages were and how much honey they produced. Beekeepers drive from many states away to purchase packages from us.

We now provide the additives we use in our Winter-Bee-Kinds. When your winter-bee-kind runs out, we now make it easier to refill.   These additives contain everything needed. DO NOT ADD any additional items to your sugar water or candy once you've added these additives.  Add 1 tsp of each vial to 1:1 sugar water and the same for 1 winter-bee-kind refill (4 lbs sugar).  There is enough to make 5 quarts of 1:1 sugar water and to refill  5 Winter-Bee-Kinds for use in fall and spring sugar water. Order Now Our beekeeping classes for 2020 are set. Sign up today. We offer two types of beekeeping classes, on site at our training center and online.   If you prefer taking a course with EAS Certified Master Beekeeper, David Burns at our training center, select one of these courses: Beginners Beekeeping Course Saturday March 7 from 1pm-6pm Click here Beginners Beekeeping Course Saturday February 1 1pm-6pm Click here Spring Management: Splits, Swarms, Supering April 4 1pm-5pm Click here Queen Rearing.

Available Now! Click Here For Full Details. One deep hive body and a honey super with 10 frames and foundation, premium inner cover, metal covered top cover, one entrance reducer, and FREE ENTRANCE FEEDER (although we think you'll want to switch to the 3 Season Burns Bees feeding system). Great for the beginner to add more boxes to, or as a gift for the hobbyist in your life who wants to get started in beekeeping. We suggest you add either our Equipment Kit Pack or to consider a smoker, hive tool, and protective gear.  This kit comes with a 3 lb package of bees.  We can either ship your hive (not the bees) to you now, or you can arrange to pick it up for a discount, then come back in late April to pick up your package of bees.  Many of our customers sign up for a class and pick up all their needed items at the same time. We are glad you are keeping bees or thinking about it. Thank you for supporting our family business for all your beekeeping needs.
