I will be selling Nucleus (Nucs) again this year. My goal last year was to make 75 nucs. I was able to make and sell around 75 nucs in spite of the challenges with my wifes health. I did not work the bees as much as I should have last year because of focusing on my wife. She is doing better now and I have a goal of making 100 nucs this year. These will still only be Langstroth deep frames. As I continue to make progress on my bee business , I will eventually expand to Top Bars and Langstroth mediums. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at 505-281-7851. To get on the waiting list please go to my Order Bees page

Our main goal has changed. It is now to become better stewards of the bees we keep. I will always continue to learn and I enjoy sharing that knowledge with others and to mentor people. That along with the bees has become my passion. I still want to provide the closest to right-out-of-the-hive honey (my original main goal). I take great pride in the honey and bees that I provide and always look for ways to improve. (For information on our honey see our honey page.)

I hope you find the information valuable. As I am now retired from the military, look for exciting changes and drastic improvements to my web site. Suggestions are always welcomed and will be considered for future updates.

My Annual Free Seminar is postponed until further notice due to government meeting policies.

Note: If you see something that is underlined it is a link that will take to another website or page.

Other great sources for bee information are New Mexico Beekeepers Association (NMBKA), and Albuquerque Beeks.
