Our Story
My name is John Hill, president of HillCo Bees, LLC. I have been fascinated with honeybees ever since I was 4 or 5 years old. I wondered what it looked like inside a beehive, and how bees made that delicious, golden honey. I caught my first swarm of bees when at age 16 and have had bees on and off ever since. Bees are definitely a passion of mine, and now my wife and 4 kids are involved as well.
As I've worked towards building my beekeeping hobby/addiction into a full-time business, I'm always frustrated by how expensive beekeeping is. The cost of package bees, nucs, and queens keep getting higher, but so does the cost of hive components, honey extracting equipment, etc. We started making our own beehive boxes a couple years ago, and found that we could build quality hive components for much cheaper than what the big bee suppliers charge.
So, we've invested in machinery and equipment to build hive components, and we are also bringing in a lineup of quality, inexpensive honey extractors and many other items in the near future. I ask for the opportunity to earn your business, and please visit our site often. We will be adding many more items in the coming weeks!

Thanks so much for your time!
