When you contact the beekeepers, ask them where they are located. You might find that some of them are national companies while others are statewide or local. You might also find that some of the national companies have locations in your area. If you find the company on the Internet, then you should ask them if they are strictly an online entity or if they have a physical location as well. Ask for references, contact information, quotes and an outline of company policy. Ask them if they provide delivery services for the goods that you purchase from them. Ask how long they have been in operation and make sure the company you choose has proper licenses and certificates. You should also ask the beekeepers what types of honey they produce. Many people find that they prefer the honeys made by the pollen that bumble bees collect. Beekeepers that produce honey do not usually keep Africanized bees, also known as killer bees, yellow jackets, wasps, paper wasps, or other types that are known to sting. When the companies' reps are answering your questions, pay attention to the level of courtesy that they use. This can often indicate how you will be treated in the future. By knowing what questions to ask, you should be able to find the beekeeper that is best for you.
