Pollination Page - Find a Beekeeper for your Crop

Pollinators are divided into two lists. One list is for beekeepers who will provide fewer than twenty hives to a site. This is primarily for growers with small acreage, limited access, or with medium size acreage, but scrambling to find bees and willing to work with two or more beekeepers. This list also notes the cities of operation since these beekeepers tend not to work at long distances, and are best suited to serve local growers.

    The second list is beekeepers offering over twenty hives per site, and is usually medium to large operations with palletized hives. These beekeepers are migratory and will provide pollination service at any location, regardless of distance.

    Luckiamute Bee makes no recommendations about individual beekeepers nor does it suggest pricing or terms and each grower needs to negotiate with the individual beekeeper for their specific needs.
