New Jersey Local Raw Wildflower Honey
Our business focuses on breeding and producing New Jersey honeybees, but we also produce small batch New Jersey local raw honey.
Nucleus Colonies & Queens
We are in the business of producing New Jersey Honeybees and New Jersey Nucleus Colonies (NUCs). We strive to breed honeybees with the great qualities that New Jersey beekeepers want: gentle, strong, disease resistant, and great honey producers. Our breeder colonies are centrally located in New Jersey in the heart of great farmland, horse pastures and open space that provide excellent foraging opportunities for our honeybees.
OUR MISSION
Garden State Apiaries will produce the highest quality honeybee colonies that are specifically developed to ensure a happy, productive, and rewarding beekeeping experience for our customers.
Choose the Best
Each of our apiaries and our breeding stock is inspected by the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, ensuring that we provide you with healthy honeybees. This is one of the most important aspects of purchasing New Jersey Honeybees! There are several options for replacing or adding colonies into your apiary. Packaged bees have always been a popular method for replacement or expansion, but why purchase packaged bees from Southern states that are not acclimated to winters in Northern states when you can purchase New Jersey Nucleus Colonies (NUCs)?
