Queen Bee Breeders

API HOLDINGS LLC ATWATER CALIFORNIA SELLS QUEEN BEES, APICARE, AND POLLINATION SERVICES.

API Holdings is known as one of the top queen bee breeders and bee apiary in the United States.  API is passionate and dedicated about their work with honey bees, and the promotion of beekeeping.  We have over 20 years of beekeeping and bee pollination knowledge to rely upon.  API Holdings wants to protect the bee population from colony collapse that is happening in the world today, and promote friendly beekeeping activities for an entire new generation of beekeepers.

API Holdings LLC is a Partnership of Family & Friends.

Keeping honey bees as a hobby or to help “Mother Earth” is a family activity that is growing in popularity.  People all over the world are becoming passionate about beekeeping.  Performing beekeeping as an activity provides people an enjoyable, and productive diversion from their daily lives.  For many, their diversion is golf, shopping, hunting or fishing, but an increasing number of everyday people have discovered the enjoyment of beekeeping.  API believes beekeeping is a family activity that everyone could do together.  At one point in time, every American household had at least one colony of bees for supplying the family with sugar and wax, and as well for medical purposes.  Perhaps in today’s fast-paced society, we need to slow down a bit. One way to consider is to cultivate a bee colony of your own.  You may find that beekeeping acts as a relaxing tool, a productive way of connecting with each other more, or perhaps as a way of enjoying the treasures of natural honey.  A gift of sweet honey from your beehive is a precious thing.  API wants to share this fun activity with everyone, and is the primary mission of the company.

API Holdings Knows Queen Bees and the Bee Apiary Business.

API Holdings LLC of Atwater, California was founded by Jerry Sullivan in 1972. Odd as it may seem, Jerry at the time was an Industrial Technology Instructor at Atwater High School but had side-line plans in the bee apiary business.  His plans started with just a few bee colonies after his son Shad developed an interest in beekeeping while he worked for a commercial beekeeper.  In May of 1992 Jerry and Shad turned their beekeeping operation  into an bee apiary and pollination services business.  They wanted to provide bee pollination services, and sell to the normal beekeeper quality queen bees. This new business direction involved acquiring a fleet of trucks, new beekeeping equipment, and thousands of quality bee colonies for crop pollination. From then to the current day the business delivers a fast, reliable, and timely professional service to a large spectrum of California growers, and will continue to be the best queen bee breeders, and provide bee pollination services well into the future.
