Free Beekeeping Advice and Mentoring:

servicesPeople become hobby beekeepers for a variety of reasons. Some are interested in collecting their own honey. Some are interested in bees because they help their gardens flourish. Some are concerned over the plight of pollinators. Whatever the reason, you chose to become a beekeeper. At Capital Bee Supply, we want you to enjoy beekeeping, whether you are just starting out or have been a beekeeper for a while. When managing living organisms (or super organisms) there are good times, bad times and times you are not entirely certain what to do. When seeking advice there are often as many opinions as there are beekeepers. For new beekeepers this can be incredibly overwhelming. We are always happy to help you sort through the opinions and allay most of your fears. Just give us a call.
