*** IMPORTANT ***

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY 

 

NUC PICKUP DAY IS MAY 11th, 2024. Pickup is at the farm NOT the store. The farm is located at 4960 S. 36th Street- Climax, MI 49034. GPS wants you to turn at the bottom of the hill, but don't. Go to top of hill and turn right into the gravel driveway where the cones and big yellow bee is. Proceed over the hill and you will see the WORLD'S FIRST & ONLY DRIVE-THRU BEE PICKUP AREA. You will be getting a call the week of April 22nd to confirm your order and pick up time. Please stick to your time - we can not have 300+ people show up all at once.  We will call repeatedly until we actually speak with someone about pick-up. We do not just call and leave a message and hope you get it, but sometimes mailboxes are full or we can't each someone.

 

If you have not heard from us by April 25th, please contact the store.

​

If you submitted your release form, but did not get a "Got it, ty" back from us, then we didn't get it. We MUST have both your payment AND release form in order to get your bees.

​

If you want bee supply on the day of nuc pick-up day, we suggest you ORDER AHEAD and pick-up on the day of. If you want until day of to buy your product, we will be sold out of a lot of stuff, so don't delay. Don't see it on the website? Give us a call and we can help 269-665-4300

Don't forget to visit our online beekeeping course taught by Master Beekeepers and experts in the field. Great Lakes Bee Supply teaches more new beekeeper about the process than any other educator in the Midwest. Every year hundreds of people take our courses to learn the basics about beekeeping. We also offer more advanced classes for those wishing to learn more about queen rearing, splits, mite control and more. 

​

And of course, with our classes, we're always just a phone call away for help. No VIP memberships, no charge for the help. Our goal is to make more successful beekeepers in the world, one beehive at a time!

"We purchased our bee supplies from a local feed store in March, when it came time to set everything up in May, we had question's. We called the feed store and they told us they couldn't answer our question's because "no one that works here knows anything about bees." Then we found you guys and you were SO helpful, even though we didn't buy our product from you. We will definitely be using you for all our beekeeping needs from now on. Thank you so much for your help and not making a new beekeeper feel like an inconvenience."

"We loved the classes! Thanks so much for making them packed full of information for those with very little time. We especially loved that we could call and speak with someone who knows bees any time we have questions after we've finished the classes. Oh, and the field days are great!  Thanks again for helping the beekeeping community and those of us that are new. Your store was the only place we actually felt welcome as new beekeepers"
