Welcome to Lake Pan Bees
Lake Pan Bees is a small, working apiary in Sumter County, Florida. Our focus is on raising healthy, productive colonies and providing bees to fellow beekeepers. We believe in practical beekeeping, sound colony management, and sharing what we learn along the way.
Our Bees & Beekeeping
From nucleus colonies and queens to maintaining productive apiaries, our work is centered on raising strong, healthy bees. We focus on practical colony management and selecting dependable stock suited to Florida beekeeping conditions.
Resources for Beekeepers
Good recordkeeping is an important part of running an apiary. We’ve developed the Apiary Business Manager, a free Excel workbook designed to help beekeepers track transactions, manage customers and products, and monitor their business finances.
