Check "Who's Who in the Bee Yard" (provided by Bee Culture) to find beekeeper associations and apiculture extension addresses in your state or province.
The following beekeepers have indicated by advertisements, listing with extension sources, or with us that they have bees available for pollination. Any beekeepers who want to correct or update their entry, be added to the list, or be removed, should contact us.

DISCLAIMER: This list is for informational purposes only, and no recommendation is made or implied by this listing. We are not responsible for errors. Some listings are outdated, and updates are appreciated.

Growers should be aware that there are con artists in the pollination business, and even could possibly be listed here. References should be checked and inspections of the bees is a good idea. Growers should also be aware that most pollination beekeepers are fully booked long before the crop blooms. Tentative orders for fruit bloom should be made by February at the latest, and bees for cucurbits should be ordered at planting. No provision can be made to remove a name, simply because the beekeeper is completely booked. Note that a number of pollination beekeepers have asked NOT to be included on the list, because they are always tapped out.....

Listings are not advertisements, and listings submitted with advertising language will be edited. Information is provided by listees or third parties, and corrections are welcome. Anyone who wished to add, modify, or remove a listing should send an e-mail to pollinator@sc.rr.com. Give business name, person in charge of pollination, e-mail or web site address, mailing address and phone, hives available, how far you'll go and what crops you'll do.

The Pollination Home Page does not accept advertisements, in a desire to keep the page free of distractions. It is a labor of love by the webmaster, a retired beekeeper.
