North Central PA Beekeepers Association
Resource Guide (updated 03/06/2019)
The Resource Guide was created by different members of the North
Central PA Beekeepers Assoc. as a reference for people to use when
they need bees or supplies. There are many other companies out on the
internet for you to choose from. This Guide in no way reflects the
club’s preference for one company over another. The North Central PA
Beekeepers Assoc. or its members are not responsible for any items
that you order from the listed companies. A few members are listed
below and they are responsible for their own products and services.
