To bee or not to bee

We believe that by being present in the Omaha/Metro area, our Bee Market provides several benefits for beekeepers in our area and beyond.

1. We are an authorized direct dealer of Honey-B-Healthy a natural ingredient nutritional supplement and encourages brood expansion.
2. We are an authorized direct dealer of NOD Apiary Products such as Mite Away Quick Strips and re-usable Hive Wraps (single and double deeps).
3. We are an authorized Brushy Mtn Bee Farm dealer and sell several Brushy Mtn high quality beekeeping products including foundation, assembled frames of all sizes, assembled hive bodies of all sizes, hive tools, and much more.
4. You can look at the variety of items we offer at our ever present web catalog at www.bbe-tech.com/shop.
5. We offer a weekend local pickup location so that people in the area can stop by and pick up the orders they have called or emailed in to us during the week.
6. We are able to ship most orders the same day and have them delivered to your door in Nebraska & Iowa locations by the next day using Spee-Dee Delivery.  Spee-Dee is not only fast, they are only about half the price of UPS/USPS which means you save big $ (often much cheaper than by driving in to Omaha and spending $ on gas for the trip.)
7. For very small items, we are often able to save you more $ by shipping with USPS.
8. We are experienced Omaha area beekeepers.  You can ask questions about how to use items, when to use them even if they should be used.  Our mission is to have local beekeepers be successful.
9. We hold “Demo Days” at various locations in the Omaha/Metro area (and other areas if you want to help us find a host spot outside of Omaha) where you can see and touch the beekeeping products and supply for yourself to see what things are before you buy it un-seen online.
10. We are official sponsors of the 70 plus member Omaha Bee Club which supports beekeepers in Washington, Douglas and Sarpy counties.

Please visit our online catalog to find your beekeeping supplies and equipment.  We work hard to provide these things to Nebraska and Iowa residents who want a more personalized and local resource.  Buying from catalogs and online companies is fine if you know exactly what you’re looking for and how they work.

If you want information about these items from someone who keeps bees in the same region as you do, check out the BBE-Tech: Bee Market.

We are finally regrouped enough to open our new weekend pickup spot today.

After the closing of the Flea Market and other irksome issues that arose, we have arranged our operations so that you can pick up your orders made during the week and save some money by picking it up instead of having it shipped.

As always, you are welcome to see products first hand and talk bees as long as you like., at least until 12 noon.

We will have honey root beer and cream soda on sale in the cooler by the bottle or take some home in a six pack.

See you there.

We know what it’s like to spend most of your work time outdoors.  It can be terrific with all the fresh air and sunshine.

We also know how uncomfortable and frustrating it can be with mosquitoes, chiggers, ticks, mites, no-see-ums and many other pests flying around you all the time.

You can use one of the perfumey and toxic pest sprays that are available.  However, they may not work very well.  They may even be making you ill if you use the more toxic products.  None of those seems like a very good idea.

You want something that is effective and won’t cause more harm than the pests you’re trying to avoid.  For this, we offer Evictor and Nature’s Defender natural and non-toxic pest sprays.

Let us have 30 minutes of your time to show you how using Evictor and Nature’s Defender can protect you and your co-workers while outdoors.  At the same time they are protecting you, they are not contributing to making you ill, lowering immune system levels or leaving you with a perfume heavy scent that is un-flattering if not actually distracting in itself.

Call us today at 402-370-8018 and ask for Tony.  He can arrange a presentation at your groups convenience to demonstrate and explain the products as well as answer any and all questions you might have.

We had hoped to be open again for product pickups today, Saturday May 5th.  However, time and events conspiring against us, We will officially re-open the live Bee Market next Saturday, May 12th.

Look for our black & white tent inside of Affordable Storage on 60th & W (across from U-Pull-It) from 8 am to 12 noon starting next Saturday.

If you have decided to pick up your order, this is the place to go.

Don’t Forget, once a month we will be holding “Demo Day” where you can come down and look at samples of all the beekeeping equipment & supplies products we carry as well as our Cedar Oil non-toxic pesticide products .

Ask questions, place orders, buy an ice cold honey root beer or cream soda.

May 26th will be our first “Demo Day” and it will be located at “It’s All About Bees” on 84th & Park Drive in Ralston.  come on down see a live observation bee hive and all our products in action!!

Check out It’s All About bees terrific line of honey and wax based products.  you won’t bee-lieve it till you see it!

We are having a pretty fast and furious Spring around the Omaha/Metro area here and all around us.

Bees are collecting pollen, foraging for nectar and juts going like gangbusters.  It’s a great and invigorating time to be a beekeeper.

Yet for many newly hived packages or even small nucs, they may still need a lot of supplemental feed like pollen patties and sugar syrup to really build up their hives.  They are drawing LOTS of comb which means LOTS of syrup.  For that, BBE-Tech: Bee Market keeps plenty of Honey-B-Healthy and high quality pollen patties from Brushy Mtn on hand to keep your bees going.

Don’t forget to plan ahead.  Don’t wait until it’s too late to figure out that you need more hive supers and frames to add to the hive and allow them to grow instead of swarm from crowded conditions.

We have assembled hive bodies from deeps and mediums to shallows as well as assembled wedge top/groove bottom frames you can just pick up and go with.  All you have to do is paint them and put them on.

We have gloves and veils, queen reducers and hive tools just in case you need one or another one.

Check out the BBE-Tech: Bee Market, keep us in mind and know that you can pick your order up every Saturday or we can deliver it to you quickly and at half the price of UPS.

Here at BBE-Tech,  we began using Honey-B-Healthy added to sugar syrup to help those bees we have rescued during cut-outs and swarm captures.

Over that year and into this one  I have discovered that the bees we rescued rebounded so much more strongly and sooner than bee colonies that had not gotten the Honey-B-Healthy.  It has really worked out tremendously well for us in the conservation yard.

So well, as a matter of fact, that we became a direct dealer of the product.  Our Bee Market  now keeps 2 sizes in stock, 16 oz bottles (makes up to 96 feedings or drenches per bottle)for $25.00 each and 8 oz bottles (makes up to 48 feedings or drenches per bottle) for only $13.00 each.

If you’re in the Omaha/Metro area and are looking for Honey-B-Healthy, we have got what you’re looking for.  If you live within our Spee-Dee Delivery area, you can get it delivered to your door for about half the price of UPS and often by the next day.

Call us today at 402-370-8018 to find out more.

Due to the closing down of the Omaha Flea Market, where the BBE-Tech: Bee Market had made it’s weekend home where local customers could pick up the beekeeping equipment and supplies they order from us as well as Big Bear himself becoming extremely ill over the weekend (still recuperating, but slowly on the mend) the BBE-Tech: Bee market has been closed all this past weekend and will possibly be ready to meet our customers needs this coming Saturday.

You can always continue to order all the beekeeping equipment and supplies as well as honey and wax items as you always have with BBE-Tech over the phone, over email or by using the “contact” field on our online catalog.

We still offer the terrific and low cost option of shipping to you direct with Spee Dee Delivery in Nebraska and Iowa for about half the cost of UPS (and in most cases, you have it by the next day!) and if you believe you can save some money by picking it up when you are in the area, you can stop by our weekend market inside “Affordable Storage” at about 60th & W St (across from U-Pull-It).

We at BBE-Tech would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding as we deal with these transitional issues and get back to work as soon as possible to get you the items you are looking for.
