Zia Queenbee Company

We specialize in chemical-free, Survivor Stock queen honeybee breeding. We select our breeding stock based on longevity, pest/disease resistance, productivity, hygienics and gentleness. We also offer exquisit pure, raw varietal honeys from the deserts, valleys and mountains of New Mexico. Along with pure bees wax candles in recycled glassware, tapers, honeycomb and beeswax jewelry, balms and salves and royal jelly. We have a sister op in Marquette, MI which serves to test our winter hearty Great Lakes Sooper Yooper bee stock. Our Michigan girls produce divine pure, raw wildberry and wildflower and basswood (linden) honeys. We offer pollination services as well as presentations and workshops. Due to the fact that bees can fly up to 5 miles for forage, we do not claim to be organic as we do not complete control over our bees diet. We utilize organically certified orchards and pesticide free farms coordinating with area farmers and ranchers.
