Looking for honey bees in Northern Illinois/Southern Wisconsin?
Here are places, that I know of, which are within 60 miles of Beloit WI. I chose Beloit since it sits nicely on the border of IL and WI.
My honey bee farm is within 7 miles of Beloit WI. I am currently not advertising the sale of bees, since I am not sure how many I will have in the spring to sell. I plan to ramp up in the next few years to sell about a dozen Nucs each spring. If you are interested in purchasing a Nuc, send me an email and when spring arrives, and I know how many Nucs are available, I can contact you to see if you are still interested.
This is NOT an endorsement for any of the businesses listed below… just a list. If you know of others please comment on this post, with their URL, and I will add it to the list.
