Made in Virginia - Episode #7 - Gunter Honey & Sweet Virginia - Honey and Honey Bees

Richland Honey Bees was asked to participate in this Made in Virginia program about local VA honey and honey bees! Thanks to Sweet Virginia Foundation and George & Karla of The Backyard Farm for inviting us to join in the fun!

The origin of the honey-bee in North America can be traced back to Virginia in 1622. See how the mid-Atlantic’s largest honey processor gets so much sweetnes...

We have a few more Russian Nucs available from Richland Honey Bees, LLC. It's late, but not too late to start a colony this year, particularly with Russians. They overwinter in a much smaller colony than their more "Mediterranean" cousins.

Nucs are an excellent way to heal a failing colony, provide a supply of resources (Queen, eggs, brood, etc) for other colonies, or simply inject new life into a low population colony.

These nuc come in a 5 frame deep cardboard transport box. At least 4 frames will have drawn comb, eggs, and brood. The queens are marked green for 2019.

Cost- $200

I'D LIKE TO GET THEM OUT AS EARLY AS TOMORROW MORNING! (6-29-19).

If you are interested, please let us know ASAP at - [email protected].
