Welcome to Prime Bees Apiary in College Station, TX and home of Aggieland Honey.
Our mission to practice treatment-free, responsible beekeeping is rooted in a desire to leave the world as good or better than when we found it. By selecting for survival in addition to temperament, and production we’re helping the bees make a comeback.
Although we’ve always been fascinated with bees, our love for them grows as we continue to manage and learn from them.
We provide pollination services, educational presentations, honeybee hive removal and swarm capture around BCS, on-site classes and farm party tours, mentorships for beginner beekeepers, help with agricultural exemptions, sale of Aggieland Honey and wax products in and around the Brazos Valley. The B/CS area is a great place to raise honey bees and we’re so thankful to have such a diversity of land to place our hives upon.
