We Deliver
Clear commitments and dependable execution
One company. One specialty.
Superior almond pollination is our entire focus.
We are not a general beekeeping company that offers pollination on the side. Almond pollination is our entire focus. It determines how we select genetics, winter our colonies, build strength before bloom, and prepare every hive to perform at its best.
For decades, our family has perfected a process around the needs of almond orchards. From genetics and timed buildup before bloom to colony preparation, delivery timing, orchard placement, and direct field communication, every step is planned to deliver strong, dependable colonies.
Our experience allows us to provide California almond growers with exceptional bees and dependable service built specifically for the demands of California almond bloom.
The right bees. The right preparation. Delivered when promised.
