Excellent for local honey and beyond! Other products from the hive are crafted with great care.
Re: education: I've taken classes from several other established bee operations in the state, and nothing has come close to the thoroughness or relevence provided at the beekeeping classes offered by this generational beekeeping family. I couldn't recommend the mentorship program enough for a complete, in-depth experience to take your beekeeping to the next, if not first, level!

Amazing introduction to beekeeping class! Sustainable practices, community focused, incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and plenty of Southern hospitality. Wonderful products like soap and honey treats for sale in their store—right off 35, exit 343. Totally worth the stop on a road trip just for the gift shop!

Kind and efficient. I picked up two nucs and some equipment, and everyone was extremely friendly and professional. I got some good tips on the way out and will be back again.

Oakley Family Apiaries stepped in to help us in early 2017 when our beekeeping adventure got a little out of hand. Randy Oakley feeds and treats our bees, especially the testing for and treatment of Varroa mites, and he helps us harvest the honey in the summer. Oakley Family Apiaries is a professional operation with caring and knowledgeable folks at the heart of the business. Randy helped us turn our hobby into a business, and I highly recommend Oakley Family Apiaries for purchasing honey, getting advice on your own beekeeping pursuits, or contracting with Randy for a larger venture.

We like Oakley Family Apiaries because they developed a bee management System that works for Texas. Randy Oakley and his family have a wealth of knowledge about bees and maintaining a sustainable hive. They helped us set up our hive and mentored us for a year making themselves available to answer questions and guide us step-by-step along the way. I wholeheartedly recommend them for help in getting started with beekeeping. The daylong introductory workshop and monthly half-day workshops gave us everything we needed to succeed.

We met the Oakley's at the Mother Earth News fair a couple of years ago. They taught us everything we needed to know about getting started in bee keeping. We bought our first nucs from them and attended a workshop at their place. We learned enough to be very successful our first year and get lots of honey. They are always very helpful if you have questions. Great folks also!
