Honey
Straight from our hives to your table.
Our honey is raw (never heated), pure and delicious. It comes primarily from the nectar of Tupelo Gum and Hollies; with lesser amounts of blueberry, blackberry, elderberry, maple, and numerous other spring wildflowers. This is some of the best honey North Carolina has to offer.
We have a limited amount of honey from the eastern North Carolina nectar flow available in 1-pound and 2-pound Queenline jars; and 60-pound, food-safe pails. Visit our Online Store for more information and to place an order.
Bees
We are now taking orders for nucs and pollination services. To place an order please contact us through our Contact Page, call (910) 540-4611 or email shakencreekfarms@gmail.com.
nucs
Nucs, or nucleus colonies, are the most reliable way to replace winter losses or to get started in beekeeping.
Our nucs are of Italian stock with Varroa Sensitive Hygiene (VHS) queens and an established laying pattern. They are started in south Florida in January. If ordered for March or early April delivery and properly managed, your nuc will establish a strong colony in time for the spring and summer nectar flow in North Carolina and regions northward.
Nuc Pricing
A 10% non-refundable deposit for Nucs is required at placement of the order. Our nucleus colonies cost $158 each and must be picked up at our farm unless otherwise arranged. This fee includes the cost of a reusable corrugated cardboard nuc box for transportation to your permanent hive.
