Beekeeping in New Ulm, Minnesota - Zone 4b
New Ulm's Zone 4b along the Minnesota River valley combines agricultural diversity with riverside forage for productive beekeeping.
Darin's Advice for Zone 4b:
New Ulm's linden trees create an outstanding mid-summer honey flow. Our Italian bees are prolific enough to capitalize on this and the surrounding ag forage.

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 New Ulm: Your bees travel from our California breeding partners to New Ulm in a climate-controlled trailer - no shipping stress, no postal delays. Pick up your bees at Kwik Trip - 1623 N Broadway St - New Ulm MN 56073.
