Services & Process

BeeWeaver Honey Farm specializes in honey production and is particularly well known for their bee breeding work, which includes queen rearing focused on mite-resistant stock. Their queens are bred to handle the specific challenges of the Texas climate, including heat tolerance and resistance to Varroa mites, which are one of the biggest threats facing honeybee colonies nationwide. They sell packaged bees and nucleus colonies to beekeepers looking to start or expand their apiaries with locally adapted stock. Their honey products reflect the diverse forage around Navasota, with flavors that vary by season and bloom.

Service Area

BeeWeaver Honey Farm is located in Navasota and ships bees and queens across Texas and beyond. Local pickup is available for customers in the Brazos Valley region, including Bryan, College Station, and Huntsville. Houston-area beekeepers, about an hour and a half south, regularly make the trip to source bees and honey directly from the farm.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes BeeWeaver's queens different from other suppliers?
BeeWeaver has spent decades selectively breeding bees for Varroa mite resistance and traits that suit the Texas climate, including heat tolerance. This means colonies started with their queens tend to be more resilient with less chemical treatment needed to maintain hive health.
Can I visit the farm in Navasota to pick up bees or honey?
Yes, BeeWeaver welcomes customers at their Navasota farm, and a visit gives you a firsthand look at how a professional Texas apiary operates. It's worth calling ahead at (737) 230-3435 to schedule your visit and confirm availability of the bees or products you need.
Do they ship nucleus colonies and package bees to other parts of Texas?
BeeWeaver ships bees across Texas and to other states, making their mite-resistant genetics accessible well beyond the Brazos Valley. Timing your order early in the year is important since their stock, especially queens, sells out fast during spring season.
What types of honey does BeeWeaver produce?
Their honey reflects the seasonal wildflower and agricultural blooms around Navasota, which means the flavor profile can shift meaningfully between spring, summer, and fall harvests. The Brazos Valley's diverse forage produces honey with character that's noticeably different from generic commercial blends.
Is BeeWeaver a good source for someone starting their first hive?
Absolutely. Starting with locally adapted, mite-resistant bees gives new beekeepers a significant advantage over using generic stock. BeeWeaver's team is experienced enough to guide first-timers through the process of selecting the right colony type and getting it established successfully.
How far in advance should I order queens or package bees?
For spring stock, placing your order in late winter, January or February, is strongly recommended since BeeWeaver's quality bees are in high demand across Texas. Waiting until spring to order often means a long waitlist or missing the optimal window for hive establishment.
