Why Choose Little Apiary on the Prairie?
Northern-Bred Genetics: Our Carniolan and Italian bees are selected for hygienic behavior, mite resistance, and cold-climate performance. Every queen is Freeze Kill tested and verified laying before caging - because your success starts with proven genetics.
Built for Zone 4b: We don't sell generic bees. Our colonies are maintained to thrive in USDA Zone 4b conditions, where winter temperatures demand resilient stock that overwinters reliably and builds up rapidly in spring.
Delivered Fresh to Burnsville: Your bees travel from our California breeding partners to Burnsville in a climate-controlled trailer - no shipping stress, no postal delays. Pick up your bees at Burnsville Center Mall - 1178 Burnsville Center - Burnsville MN 55306.
