Brother Adam (shown at left) observes the progress of his BUCKFAST QUEEN BEES.

Richard Weaver (shown at right with his father, the late Roy Weaver) continues the tradition of beekeeping with R Weaver Apiaries, Inc. Since 1925 the Weaver's have had a program of selection and careful breeding to produce the WEAVER ALL-AMERICAN QUEEN BEE. Many of the most successful honey producers use this Weaver Italian strain.

A Personal note to our customers: The R Weaver Apiaries operates with the "Hands On" approach. Collectively, we have over 114 years of experience that go into each and every queen and package of bees we ship.
Richard Weaver, who is the sole owner, provides 40 years of queen rearing expertise.
Clint Weaver, Richard's son, will be personally responsible for the harvest of every package of bees.
Risa Davis, our office manager, has been with the company for more than 21 years and will be the first line of defense on the phones, e-mail, sales and customer service.
Roosevelt Roberson, our master beekeeper, has been with us for over 42 years and knows our bees inside and out. He is primarily responsible for the careful selection of our breeder queens and the day to day hive management.
Carmen Campos, our main queen bee, has been selecting your queens for over 14 years. She knows what a good queen is, checks the brood pattern, and if it passes her test, the queen is caged and shipped to you.
We have several seasonal employees that come back year after year to work for us in the busy spring season and they provide a valuable service to us all. Rest assured, your queens and package bees are selected with care and personal attention and we appreciate the opportunity to provide you the very best that we are all proud of!
