South Carolina Beekeeping Supplies

Named in honor of King Charles I of England, who first formed the English colony, South Carolina is known for its 187 miles of coastline, beautiful lush gardens, historic sites and Southern plantations, colonial, African, and European cultures, and its growing economic development. Divided into the Atlantic coastal plain, Piedmont, and the Blue Ridge Mountains, South Carolina offers many wonderful ways to take in nature including whitewater rafting down the Chattooga River, located on the border between South Carolina and Georgia, and hiking at Table Rock State Park. There is no better place for the beekeeping business to thrive than in this southern state since the early 1900s and we proudly support beekeepers by supplying package bees for sale, along with beekeeping supplies for the beehive– whether it’s for a hobby in your backyard or commercial beekeeping.

Mountain Sweet Honey Company is committed to offering customers superior honey bees, beekeeping supplies, and industry-leading customer service. Our apiaries are in the beautiful northeast Georgia mountains, and we ship bees on a weekly schedule from mid-March to May. Whether you’re an experienced beekeeper or just starting out, we have all the beekeeping supplies you need.
