Proudly serving Kansas City, Columbia, and St. Louis, Meyer Bees is Missouri’s go-to source for quality bees and top-tier beekeeping supplies.
Establish Your Hive Quickly with Premium Bee Nucs
Our bee nucs (short for nucleus colonies) are the absolute best option for beekeepers looking to start with a well-established, functioning colony. Each of our bee nucs comes complete with a healthy, laying queen bee, active worker bees, and fully drawn frames filled with brood, pollen, and honey. Because these bees are already working together as a cohesive unit, our bee nucs provide a seamless transition to a full-sized hive, resulting in faster colony growth and increased early honey production.
Superior Queen Bees for a Productive Colony
A high-quality queen bee is the essential key to a successful, thriving hive. At Meyer Bees, we offer well-mated queen bees that are carefully selected for their superior genetics, high productivity, and gentle temperament. Crucially, our queens are bred to perform exceptionally well in Missouri’s shifting climate, ensuring that your colony remains strong, healthy, and efficient throughout the entire foraging season.
Healthy Package Bees to Start New Hives
For beekeepers looking to build a hive from the ground up, our package bees provide an excellent, cost-effective foundation. Each bee package includes thousands of energetic worker bees and a young, naturally mated queen bee, ready to establish a thriving colony. We source all of our package bees in Missouri from top-quality stock, ensuring they arrive healthy, active, and prepared to begin foraging and producing immediately.
