History
After years of being a backyard beekeeper, Steve Nimmer decided to turn his passion into a business. He has spent a number of years collaborating with local commercial beekeepers about some of the best practices for maintaining healthy bee colonies. Steve also has a wood shop in Oak View, California where he builds custom bee boxes and hive parts.
Specialties
Mission Beekeeping operates in Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles Counties with the goal of finding happy homes where hives can thrive. We do this by removing hives from unsafe areas and connecting with people who are able and want to care for these. Additionally, we have our own stock of bees that are bred to be mite resistant, disease free, docile and overwintered. Also, for new bee owners and seasoned beekeepers, we can provide onsite consultation and year round bee care services. Our methods to raise bees are non-toxic, natural and without antibiotics to ensure long-term health for bees. We believe, educate and advocate that all beekeepers and bee owners should utilize these same natural practices. For more information,call or click today.
