Build Your Own Apiary
Honey bees play an important role in our ecosystem and economy. They are pollinators that support the growth of trees, flowers, and other plants that help us sustain our source of food and shelter. If you want to become a beekeeper, talk to Diane @ Deez L’town Beez for our educational services. We’ll help you learn methods of raising bees for their honey, for pollination, and for sustainability.
We also sell honey bees. "Nucs", Queens, and hive products galore. We offer new beekeeper classes and so much more.
