Due to the fact that our family-owned business is operated from privately-owned acreage, shop visits are by appointment only. Our online store is open 24/7 for convenient browsing and ordering. Many items are available for fast delivery, but we also offer on-site pickup at your convenience. Please just let us know what time you would like to stop by and pick up your order. We also offer free in-shop consultations to answer questions or help with product selection. Again, we ask that you contact us to make that appointment.

As of right now ... occasionally. We are moving in the direction of becoming a reliable source for live bees and queens but we're not quite there yet. I highly recommend the good folks at Lappe's Bee Supply - it's where I get my bees and their customer service is excellent! Tell them Kitsap Beekeeping referred you. :)

Yes, but it can be seasonal and quantities vary depending on our harvest! We also offer honey purchased in bulk from other beekeepers, some in our area and some outside of our area. In addition, we also carry a variety of health and nutritional items, including infused honey (turmeric, ashwaganda root, ginger, etc.) And if you haven't tried our hot honey drizzled over homemade pizza, you don't know what you're missing!

I guess the question is best answered with another question: What kind of beehive do you want? Are you looking to harvest (or sell) your own honey or are you looking for great pollination for your garden? Are you a new beekeeper or intermediate or advanced? These are all questions that I would ask you in a consultation to help you decide which kind of beehive is best for you! We offer everything from basic langstroth hives to the incredible Layens hive (my personal favorite) to high-end American Slovenian AZ hives. Each hive design has its own pros and cons. Some will last a couple of years while others, with proper care and attention, will last decades. I am always available to answer your questions by phone, text or email.

We design and build custom hives as well, with a special emphasis on over-wintering success. Tired of losing your bees every winter and having to reorder in the Spring? Talk to us, we can help.

Most honey, health and nutritional items, gifts and some smaller beekeeping accessories qualify for free shipping when the order total exceeds $75.
