We are continuing to locally source our queen bees until we can rear queens at scale. We plan to start queen rearing in our extended season regions, like San Francisco, in January/February of 2023. We want to flip the supply chain and be able to supply Best Bees regions across the country with our own queen bees, in addition to continuing to educate our beekeepers on queen rearing and expand the initiative so that we may help others to contribute to rearing queens.

BY Noah Wilson-Rich, Ph.D., CEO and Founder
Chief Scientific Officer Noah Wilson-Rich, PhD., began The Best Bees Company as a way to continue his research in honeybee immunology. His passion for bee health, research, and data-based solutions drove The Best Bees Company forward from his apartment in Boston to 12 cities nationwide, becoming the largest beekeeping service in the US. He is an urban ecologist, published author, and a three-time TEDx speaker on a mission to expand the bee population and improve pollinator health. His scientific approach makes an out-sized impact on the larger mission to save the bees and helps clients understand the quantifiable impact they have on the environment by opening their rooftops to pollinators. Noah has collaborated with NASA, National Geographic, MIT, Harvard University, Stanford University, and more in research projects relating to pollinator health.
