Roadtrip to the Beehive Barn

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


This weekend, we took a ride out to Cranbury, NJ to do a special pickup. We were going to Beehive Barn, an apiary that not only sells bees but sells beehives and all other kinds of supplies for beekeeping. I’ve never been to the Beehive Barn before so this was a special treat!

It’s about an hours drive from Manhattan, and the ride would out to the ‘country’ would not have been bad if we hadn’t hit traffic on the NJ Turnpike South. We sat in traffic for about an hour. When we finally arrive, I was beyond excited! Our main goal for this trip was to pickup a package of 20,000 bees and the Queen bee that recently arrived from Georgia.  All the bee packages were stored in this barn.

Sally, who owns the apiary said to me, “Go ahead and go into the barn and pick out your own package!” How cool is that?

As I got closer to the barn, I could hear all the buzzing inside. There looked like hundreds of packages inside. Super cool!

I picked out a package and made sure the Queen was still alive. Then I went over to the workshop to pickup some deep frames with foundation.

Here’s a photo of them pulling 12 frames for me. They make these and all the beehives by hand! So cool!

Here’s another photo of the woodworking shop! I felt so lucky to be able to see where they make beehives. Whenever I can, I try to support local businesses. This is pretty awesome!

Another view of the workshop.

Right outside the workshop was a flock of chickens. I am so loving this place!

Here’s the package I picked out. This will be installed into the hive that we lost over the winter. Stay tuned for that blog post soon!
