Beam’s Bees, LLC is a family business, owned and operated by Jesse & Heather Beam.
We are a Pennsylvania state registered nuc and queen producer and are inspected by the state at least twice yearly. As lifetime members of both the York County & PA State Beekeepers Associations, combined with our natural curiosity and willingness to experiment with new and sometimes seemingly-unusual beekeeping practices, we strive to continuously further educate ourselves and improve our bees.
Our bees are primarily a mixture of New World Carniolan, Italian, Buckfast, Russian and whatever other stock is in the area. We do not strive for purebred strains, nor can we guarantee what your bees may look like or genetic strains they may carry. Our primary focus is on producing survivor bees for our region regardless of their heritage. We find our "survivor bees" more interesting this way.
Our bees aren't wimps. As you can see in our Photo Gallery, we don't insulate our bees over winter - often leaving the "screen door" open all winter long. In this manner, only the hardiest survive and pass their genetics on to the next generation.

Located just outside of New Freedom, PA, within a 60 second bee flight of the Mason-Dixon line, we combine our love of nature with our desire to educate others about the wonders of honey bees into our business model.
Whether we sell someone a nuc or they are just curious, we welcome the opportunity to talk to people in order to help develop a greater public awareness and appreciation of one of God's most amazing creatures.
