Your Neighbors

Your Knowledgeable Beekeeping Neighbors

Oklahoma Hive Patrol started with a simple idea: more people want to support local pollinators and enjoy fresh honey than have the time to become beekeeping experts. So we became the experts and brought the experience to your backyard.

We're based right here in Central Oklahoma—we know the climate, the nectar flow, the local mite pressure, and exactly what Central Oklahoma hives need to thrive through our hot summers and mild winters.

Who We Help

Want bees in your yard but don't want to do the work yourself? We handle everything — setup, inspections, seasonal care — so you get the honey without the learning curve. Already have a hive and feel like you're in over your head? We offer hands-on coaching to help you get your footing. Whether you're starting from scratch or already knee-deep in beekeeping, we meet you where you are.

Testimonials

What Neighbors Say

Jimmy has helped me with my hives for a couple of years now. Last year he and I harvested 100 pounds of honey from my hives. His passion for beekeeping is evident. He knows quite a bit about it too. Beekeeping is not always easy or enjoyable (especially when you get stung in the face a few times) but I'm still convinced it's worth the reward.

Jared R.Choctaw

Jimmy helped me fill in a couple of gaps in my beekeeping knowledge. He has been really helpful with helping me manage my hives from a couple frames of bees coming out of winter to double deeps ready for honey super and my first split. His knowledge and passion for bees is outstanding and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to get started or has found themselves overwhelmed. Not to mention, the honey that comes from your own backyard is the best tasting honey and seems to help with seasonal allergies.
