Sustainable Queen Rearing

šŸ With a desire to help a burgeoning number of new beekeepers in the area when the only option was to order online, Jane established ā€œIsabee's Beekeeping Suppliesā€ in 2009, selling supplies out of her garage. Currently, her business operates in retail, product assembly, education, and bee stock sales providing services and support for the unique vocation of beekeeping that "big box" retailers do not.

As co-founder of Saint Louis Beekeepers, Jane coordinated the SSA (Sustainable Stock Apiary) queen-rearing group, receiving grant funding from USDA-SARE in 2018 and in 2022 where a small group of farmer/ranchers raise locally adapted, sustainable queens in a chemical-free management program and make both mated queens and nucleus colonies available to St. Louis area beekeepers.
