Welcome to Kansas Bee Farm

2023 Accomplishments

I want to thank everyone for all of the help making 2023 a success. Here are a few pictures and accomplishments in 2023. Hope you enjoy! 

• Foundation of Kansas Bee Farm LLC and an entity.

• Launch of the KBF initial website and store front. 

• Pollination- We have had a few great opportunities to partner with local producers like Feyh Farm Seed Co. to assist in the pollination of their crops and increate their production. 

• Growth- In 2023 we have been fortunate to have grown 200%. We did hit a few snags due to varroa but was able to get that under control and ended the year strong. 

• Honey production- Through our expansion and varroa, our honey production took a hit but were still able to produce over 3,000 pounds of honey which we partnered with Valor Honey to help support our troops. 

2024 Strategic Goals

• Nuc Sales- We are expanding to include Nuc sales. We are targeting to sell 200 Nucs in the state of Kansas spring opf 2024.

• Queen Rearing- Start up Queen rearing line. Initial offerings from local KBF genetics and then expanding using the Latshaw Apiaries bloodline for a 2025 product line. These will be in our Nucs, our hives, and then will offer bred Queens and cells. 

• Honey production- A target of 10k pounds of honey should be in reach and am excited about some new partnerships that has opened up great honey production opportunities for us. 

• Pollination services- Continue to identify key partnerships in the local pollination industry.

• Growth- We are targeting a growth rate of 200% again in 2024 and the transition to migratory setups.

• Community- Develop training program and strategy to include Classroom and field training. Pursue strategic public private partnerships and community relations events. 

Kansas Bee Farm is located 15 minutes south of Topeka, at 5744 SE 101st, Berryton KS 66409. We are fortunate to be off the beaten path and nestled in the hills above the Wakarusa River.
