About Betterbee
In 1979, Bob and Margaret Stevens founded Betterbee, Inc. after keeping bees in their home garden in the Adirondack Mountains for five years. Bearing the slogan “Beekeepers Serving Beekeepers,” Betterbee supports all aspects of the industry, including beehive mainte...nance, creation of items from honey and beeswax, and educating about the importance of honey bees to our food source. With headquarters in Greenwich, New York, Betterbee offers a variety of products to customers. Dedicated to improving all aspects of the process, Betterbee offers a comprehensive range of products. Betterbee provides local buyers with live honeybees, including varieties such as Italian and Carniolan Honey Bees. In addition, Betterbee sells a broad array of hives and housing structures designed to meet a variety of needs. Customers may choose from one of several 10 Frame Hive Kits constructed of durable Eastern Pine; lightweight 8 Frame Hive Kits; and BeeMax Kits, which foster accelerated growth, a surplus of honey, and better protection against cold winter months. Betterbee also accommodates patrons with feeders, feeding materials, foundations, frames, and other accessories. Betterbee also sells tools to create soaps, candles, skin care products, and gifts. Betterbee serves as a business committed to its customers.
