Woodcamp Farm has been keeping bees since 1991. We understand bees are important for pollination and want to help mother nature as much as possible. Woodcamp Farm is local to the Maryland/VA/DC/PA vicinity, where we strive to raise bees and breed our own queens to be hearty to our environment. We’d like to give back to nature as much as possible. Our goal is to provide a reliable source of honey bees to Mid-Atlantic hobbyist and commercial beekeepers.
Notes About our Bees and Ordering – Spring 2020:
Packages — Delivery – March 24th/25th
- Our March packages are consistently some of the first available to be picked up in the country. Packages have sold out every year, so order early to ensure you will have your 2020 bees.
- We guarantee a live queen in every purchased package. Let’s look at your queen before you go! All queens must be inspected before leaving. If your queen needs to be replaced prior to leaving the pickup location, we will exchange the entire package.
- If the queen has an issue within the first 30 days, replacement queens will be available at a 40% discount.
5 Frame Nucs – Delivery April 18th or 25th (sold out – for now. If I have extra bees, I may add additional nucs for sale).
- Pickup date will depend on late March and Early April weather – Updates will be given by April 1.
- Queens are raised by us! Bees are raised by us! If you are comparing to competitors, ask if they are raising queens themselves that have a proven track record for our area, or buying queens that are caged and shipped in the mail from hundreds or thousands of miles away!
- We are using Carniolian, Saskatraz, and Canadian Buckfast over wintered stock as the backbone of our queen operation.
- Queens never see the inside a queen cage. This is becoming more recognized as another incremental improvement to increase queen quality and longevity.
Queens and Queen Cells
- Queens will be available April 25th. Orders will be fulfilled in the order they are received.
