Broadus Bees is a family business in Bend, OR specializing in local honey, pollen, and more! Welcome to Broadus Bees!
(1)

Our mission is to create a sustainable business through honeybee products, hive installation and maintenance, and educating the public about the critical role bees play in producing the food we eat. James Broadus Wilkie V, Owner & Master Beekeeper, has had a fascination with bees and their importance to the environment ever since he studied wildlife biology at Western State College in Colorado. He wants to educate people about the importance of bees to our production of food. Jimmy feels like it’s his responsibility to give back to the very thing that gives us life. One key to our success is the genetic diversity of our queens. The genetics of our pure Russian honeybee come from the top breeders on the Russian Honeybee Breeders List. Our Russian bees are not hybridized in any way. They are open mated in an isolated Russian bee yard. What sets us apart from other bee businesses is that we stand behind the quality of our bees and will do whatever necessary to keep your hive alive. Our star products are pure raw unadulterated honey flavored by a wide variety of flowering plants in Bend, Oregon and of course our Russian honeybee!

your fall harvest? brought to you (in part) by BEES! 🐝🍂🎃

from pumpkins to apples, some of our favorite seasonal foods get a helping hand from these hardworking little pollinators!

🎃 pumpkins & winter squash: bees transfer pollen between male and female flowers, allowing these fall favorites to develop. no pollination, no pumpkins!

🍎 apples & pears: bees carry pollen between blossoms, helping trees produce the crisp, juicy fruits we love each fall!

🍅 tomatoes: tomato flowers can pollinate themselves, but bumblebees give them a little buzz! their vibrations shake pollen loose, helping improve fruit production.

🐝 fun fact: while we’re enjoying these delicious fall harvests, much of the bees’ hard work happened months ago, when the plants were flowering!

small wings. BIG impact. 💛

did you know honey changes with the seasons? 🍯🍂🐝

just like the leaves, honey can change color, flavor, and texture throughout the year! 🍁

as fall wildflowers bloom, bees gather nectar that can produce honey with rich amber hues and earthy, sometimes spicy notes. nature’s sweetest work! ✨
