Tate’s Honey Farm is a family run business that has been meeting all your beekeeping needs since 1971. We run our own beekeeping operation and provide a location for all beekeepers to stop by and hear the latest news. The Coffee is always on and in the winter the fireplace is going. If nothing else come in and talk bees with one of the many beekeepers that stop by to visit. We have beekeeping equipment, honey, and candle making supplies and provide package bees, queens and pollination services.
5 gallons of honey you need to call the shop and place your order. It will be 2 to 3 weeks before it will be ready.
We are taking orders for package bees for April 18 delivery, we don’t have pricing yet. email your order or call on Saturday.
We are now in winter hours open Saturday 830am to 2pm.
We are taking orders for package bees.
Delivery will be April 18, 2026. The package will include 3# or 10,500 bees with a new queen. You can order Carniolan or Italians. The price of a package is unknown now but last year was $177.00 which includes sales tax we expect that to increase. Our queens are marked but sometimes there isn’t enough time to mark them prior to package bee day. Its all depends on the weather. All we need to hold the order is Name, Address and Phone number and what type of queen you want. We would like them to be paid for prior to package bee day if possible. It really speeds up the process. You can order by emailing taccon105@icehouse.net or call on Saturday and talk to us directly. If you need Sunday pickup you must let us know.
As soon as the shipment is confirmed I will post on media the status.
Queens
We will be selling 2026 Queens either Italian or Carniolan. We have them on hand starting with package bee day till the end of August. The price is unknow. We do ship them to Inland Empire locations. We ship by USPS.
