Sourwood Farm
Sourwood Farm is a small honeybee farm focusing on raising healthy productive bees, pure wildflower honey and beeswax candles. I work full time in the bees actively breeding for gentle productive colonies with mite resistance. I sell nucs and queens raised from our proven mite resistant breeder queens. I try to share interesting tidbits on youtube and facebook and give more in-depth presentations to beekeeping associations and conferences.
