What it is

The Snohomish Bee Company (SnohoBeeCo) is a small, family-owned beekeeping supply store in Snohomish, Washington, about 40 minutes north of Seattle. Its About Us page says the current owners took over in January 2023 and that the shop carries on a long local history, earlier trading as “Beez Neez Apiary Supplies” and before that “Silverbow Beekeeping Supplies.” The first-party store on snohobeeco.com sells hive kits and components (hive boxes, frames, plastic foundation, lids, inner covers, bottom boards, feeders), smokers and hive tools, protective clothing, mite treatments and feed, honey-extraction tools and an extractor rental, plus seasonal package bees, nucs, queens and mason bees, all with posted prices and a cart. The About page says it is an authorized reseller of Premier Bee, Mann Lake, Dadant & Sons, GloryBee and Betterbee. This listing is for the supply store with an official cart and on-page prices, not a club or a course.
