At Lappe's Bee Supply, we start our Italian, Carniolan and Saskatraz honeybee nucs out on new equipment in the early spring. Since it is all new equipment, there's no need to worry about receiving old, potentially diseased combs and beehive frames. Our nucs are also inspected by the state inspector before they go to beekeepers. Yearly we produce around 1,000 to 1,500 bee nucs to meet the needs of our beekeeping customers. Nucs are preferred by most beginning beekeepers due to the ease of hiving them into the deep brood nest boxes in the bee yard. Each nuc contains a mated, gentle young queen bee who has been marked with the color for the current year. Each bee queen has been egg laying for an extended length of time, and the bee hive frames will contain brood of all stages from that queen. This will guarantee that every worker bee in the nuc will be adjusted to the queen's pheromones. Nucs contain a mixture of worker bees - foragers, nurse bees, guard bees and drones. Nucs are like a working mini bee hive, and will be ready to transfer into your Langstroth wooden beehive once you get to your apiary. These nucs and the honeybees they contain will be ready for optimum honey production for that first big honey flow! Just like packaged honey bees, nucs are not recommended for shipping, due to the negative effects on the bees, so we offer the nucs for pick up only.

We offer honeybee packages for sale for those interested in starting a bee hive with packaged bees. Orders start in January of each year, and have several pick up dates available during early spring, in April and May. Our package bees are brought to us by experienced suppliers with over 25 years of experience in transporting bees, and they strive to help us provide our customers with healthy, quality bees. The bees are kept at just the right temperature in special climate controlled trailers, ensuring that they are kept cool enough to keep them from getting too stressed during their journey, so they arrive to us in excellent condition. Only the suppliers who are most interested in the health of the bees understand this crucial step in the shipping process. Shipping the packaged bees by UPS or USPS is detrimental to the bees' health and can have long term, extremely negative effects on your bees, causing them to not reach their full potential. Most often the bees will arrive dead, or almost all dead. At Lappe's Bee Supply, we care deeply about the honey bee, and we also care about getting repeat business from all of our customers, not just the one time sale, which is why we do offer our package bees for pick up only. Each package of bees comes with a young, mated queen bee, each one ready and waiting for the female worker bees to build out the brood nest comb, so that they can begin laying eggs to start raising bees from the larva and build up the colony of bees. There is nothing better than to have strong honey bee hives and to hear the buzzing of happy, healthy bees. Our customers come from all around to pick up our outstanding packages to start new honey bee colonies, or to expand their colonies in their apiaries. These bees are great for new hobbyist beekeepers just starting out, no matter if they are interested in urban beekeeping, backyard beekeeping or natural beekeeping.

West Virginia Beekeeping Supplies For Sale In West Virginia Free Shipping
There are lots of frequently asked questions that West Virginia beekeepers ask us, including:
How Do I Get Started In Beekeeping?
1. First of all, educate yourself on beekeeping!
The best way to gain knowledge is by working the bees; however, before you start beekeeping you need to be familiar with the bees needs and beekeeping terminology. There are lots of excellent books on beekeeping - several can be found here on our online store!
2. Purchase your bee hives and equipment.
You can either purchase supplies separately, or buy everything together in a beginning beekeeping starter kit. (We have some great kits to buy online here - we have different kits available to fit every budget!) Shop for them now!
3. Order your bees from a reputable supplier!
You need to purchase either a package of bees or a honeybee nuc to start out with. Please be aware, you can't start with just a queen! The queen needs all of the workers that come in the package or the nuc to take care of her. Make sure you purchase bees from a well known source - check them out through local beekeeping clubs or check all of their online Google reviews and Better Business Bureau registered complaints. We always recommend buying from a local source so you can pick the bees up in person! It may be more convenient for you to have them delivered to your door or local post office, but it's not always best for the bees, and more often than not you end up with ruined bees and a large amount of money wasted.
4. Set up your hive(s) and introduce the bees into their new home.
If introducing a package of bees, see our handy instructions here. If introducing a nuc of honey bees, see those instructions here.
5. Feed the bees!
More than likely, when you start your bees, there will not be many natural food supplies available for the bees. Your 5 frame nuc should come with some feed already in the frames, but with new bees hatching it won't take your hive very long to use it all up. If you get a package of bees, they won't have any feed ready for them at all. Feed Your Bees!!
6. Check on the bees!
Check on the bees every week and a half to two weeks. Make sure they are filling up the frames of the bee hive, that they have enough feed, and that they are not running out of room. Treat for Varroa mites in the spring and in the fall: you need to keep your bees healthy to ensure their survival and your success as a beekeeper!
What rules are there for beekeeping in my area?
Every state has different rules / regulations regarding beekeeping, and some cities have their own rules as well. It's always best to check first with your city or town council, then with the Department of Agriculture for your state.
What kinds of sales and deals do you offer? Do you offer free shipping?
We have different sales available each week, plus bigger sales at certain times of the year, such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Spring Fever sales events. We offer free ground shipping on most orders over $100 in the lower 48 states; some exclusions do apply. We also offer Colony Cash Reward Credits, where you earn 3.2% back on every single order that you place with us. Just make sure that you are logged into your account, place your order, and during the checkout the discount that you have on file will automatically be applied to your order. There is no fee to participate in our Colony Cash Rewards program, ever! That's right - Lappe's Bee Supply doesn't believe in making you spend money to be part of a program that is supposed to save you money! Also, check out our Bargain Bin department on our website where we have numerous products on clearance.
How hard is it to keep honey bees?
Keeping honey bees is not hard, but it does take quite a bit of work and understanding. This isn't a hobby where you can just put the bees in the box and they magically take care of themselves with no more effort on your part!
Where can I buy high quality beekeeping supplies and honeybees at affordable prices?

We offer an extensive line of beekeeping supplies and bee hive equipment and components, plus lots of extra products that any beekeeper could need!
