Purpose

At Uribe Honey Bees (UHB), we exist to produce only the highest quality queens to support fellow beekeepers in owning the most explosive hives, which in turn allows them the opportunity to support their families through agriculture and also do extraordinary things for the future of honeybees and our food supply system.

All queens are meticulously bred and hand-selected by experienced catchers/cagers who work passionately in the fields from March to September every year. Our bee and mating yards are located in Northern California in Butte County.

After opening UHB & interacting with customers, we quickly discovered a high demand for basic beekeeping information. As a direct result, in 2020, we launched The California Beekeeper on YouTube- utilizing the platform to reach beekeepers across all borders- exchanging knowledge, ideas, techniques, and inspiration. 

We are forward thinkers and believe in evolving and helping others. It is a team effort to keep bees alive, and we can transform the industry by sharing information and supporting each other.
