Our Company 

Woods Bee Company is a veteran-owned and operated family business started in 2014 in the garage of our small home on State Street in Centralia, WA. We started Woods Bee Co. to inform the beekeepers, giving them the tools to care for the honeybee properly. Currently, we serve beekeepers throughout the entire State of Washington and Oregon with quality beekeeping equipment and training certification from the Washington State Beekeeping Association (WASBA).

While we value education and training others about honeybees, our highest esteem is learning about the one who made them. We are committed to serving one another because we are followers of Jesus, the Father’s only Son. And while we are not perfect, we are faithful. So now that you know about us, come and have a cup of coffee and tell us about you.

Our products Specification

1

Quality product

Our products are of the highest quality, and we stand behind each. At Woods Bee Co., we use everything we sell and will never sell anything we are unwilling to use. However, we will do special orders at the customer’s request.

2

Best Bees

We are aware that different types of honeybees possess distinct characteristics. The beekeeper needs to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the bees they keep. We select, use, and sell only the best bees for the area that we live in.  

3

Dependable Training

At Woods Bee Co., we do not train you on how to be a good beekeeper; rather, we teach you about honeybees so you will become a good beekeeper by knowing about them. We train beekeepers on the best beekeeping practices for Washington State using the Washington State Beekeepers Association (WASBA) Certification. While YouTube seems to be the training of choice, nothing replaces learning beekeeping in your area.

4
Great Service

We understand that keeping bees can get expensive, especially if your colony dies yearly. We provide an onsite consultant service to ensure you are doing everything you should be doing. We have helped many people get their colonies through the winter. We also provide a honey extraction service for those with honey supers.

Top tier customer service from the staff Bev & Bailey. Bailey helped me pick up my very first HIVE and was thorough and professional. This is what small business is all about. Thank you Woods Bee Co. for the great experience and professional customer service. I will continue to support your local business.

This is the best beekeeping supply shop I have ever been to, hands down. They appear to have an affiliation with Mann Lake, so there is extensive selection of tools, supplies, and equipment, as well as local Carniolan bees. In addition to standard 8- and 10-frame hive boxes, they also have the HiveIQ hive system, which I haven't seen before (and looks pretty great). On top of the impressive selection, the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and especially patient (and the store cat is very affectionate)!

I pre-ordered a nuc of bees and a HiveIQ kit, and I am very excited for mid-April when I can pick them up. I look forward to more visits to the shop as the season progresses!

We loved our visit to Woods Bee Co. They were super informative about the process of raising bees and how honey is processed. The gift shop was lovely and we found so many goodies to take home with us. We definitely recommend stopping by and getting all your bee needs met

I cannot recommend Woods Bee Co highly enough! They have gone above and beyond to help us new beekeepers get into keeping bees, educating us with what we may or may not need and when. As we've visited to buy supplies, they've helped guide us if we ask for the wrong thing, and made suggestions to help us be successful and promote the health of our hives.

It's clear that they genuinely love bees and deeply care about the health of the bee colonies in Washington. They have everything a beekeeper could possibly need and are generous with their time!

I'm definitely a fan and will continue to patronize their shop whenever I can.
