GREETINGS
We
are still pollinating conventionally farmed products but due to losses
from pesticides/fungicides we are being more selective in our locations. We will bring hives to crops where there is a
firm, written commitment not to spray with ANYTHING while our bees are
in your fields.
We
guarantee 6 frames of brood and 8 frames of bees in growing hives .
Several studies indicate that growing hives are better pollinators than
mature hives. We recommend at least 1.5 hives per acre for successful
pollination.
Our
bees are very low in mites and virus counts. Studies have shown that
hives that are low in each are better pollinators. We are reasonably
priced and feel that every $you spend on pollination will be returned
many times in the quantity and quality of your crop.
We
are writing contracts for next year and recommend an early commitment
on your part if you are interested, since there will be a limited supply
of hives available each year. We have no hives available for 2014. Thank you for your business and interest.
As
an added , growers who use our pollination services receive first
access to our unheated, unfiltered honey for sale at your farm or farm
stand.
