Rhode Island Beekeeping Supplies
Situated in the New England region of the U.S., Rhode Island is the 7th least populous state although its state capital Providence is the most populous city in the historic state. Nicknamed “The Ocean State” because of its large bays and inlets, in 1776 the Colony of Rhode Island became the first of the Thirteen Colonies to renounce its allegiance to the British Crown and was the last of the original states to ratify the Constitution. There is no shortage of history here with its many historic mansions in the seaside city of Newport, including The Breakers, Marble House, and Belcourt Castle. With historic landmarks and beautiful shores, there is certainly a lot to love about this breathtaking state. That is also why beekeeping has been a mainstay in Rhode Island for over 100 years. We support beekeepers by supplying package bees for sale, as well as beekeeping supplies for your backyard beehive or commercial beekeeping business.
At Mountain Sweet Honey Company, we are committed to offering customers our high-quality honeybees, beekeeping supplies, and stellar customer service. Our apiaries are in the beautiful northeast Georgia mountains, and we ship bees each week from mid-March to May. Whether you’re an experienced beekeeper or new to the world of bees, we have all the beekeeping supplies you will ever need.

FAQ
Is honey beekeeping profitable?
Making a profit is nearly impossible, especially for the hobby beekeeper. Those going into it with the idea of making a little extra money will be disappointed because expenses are high and honey is cheap. Most hobbyists will be upside down for years.
What is the best month to start beekeeping?
In most areas, spring is the best time to start your beekeeping journey. As the cold season ends, an increase in forage makes it the perfect environment for a new hive to thrive. Plus expanding colonies make it the easiest time to source a colony of bees to call your own.
