Alaska Wildflower Honey is a beekeeping operation run by the Victors family in Big Lake, Alaska. We started about 20 years ago as hobby beekeepers and have since grown to support most of the beekeepers throughout the state of Alaska. In recent years we have concentrated on selling beekeeping supplies, distributing packages of bees, and educating local beekeepers. We are now the largest supplier of honeybees and beekeeping supplies in the state of Alaska. We take pride in delivering a quality product to satisfied customers.

We began beekeeping near our home on Fish Creek. Our hives were located in an area that was extensively burned with a major wildfire in 1996. This fire changed the growth from mature birch and spruce forest to many open areas of fireweed and wildflowers.  We started beekeeping to provide pollination to increase the recovery of the local vegetation after the wildfire.  The taste of the honey was an unexpected surprise.  Each year our hive numbers grew and with that growth we found a need to buy supplies in larger quantities.  Knowing it was less expensive to buy things in bulk, we found ourselves buying enough supplies to fill pallet and selling the extra that we didn't need.  This in turn led to a dealership in Mann Lake Beekeeping supplies.   Our forest has recovered there have been less open areas for the fields of wildflowers.   Our hive numbers have decreased and we now have about a dozen hives in a nearby fruit orchard. 

We have expanded our dealership in beekeeping supplies through Mann Lake Ltd. and carry supplies for the local beekeepers. Beekeeping supply has become our primary interest.  We have increased inventory each year and have a wide variety of beekeeping supplies on hand all year long.  Although we are able to offer all of the items that are listed in the Mann Lake Catalog we don't have all the items in stock, just the most common ones.  By bringing supplies to Alaska on pallets and buying in bulk, our prices are likely to be less you can find elsewhere. A list of supplies is located on this site that we have on hand almost all the time.

We are also the largest supplier of package bees in the the state of Alaska. We believe that the quality of our bees, queens and the service that we provide is the reason that we continue to grow. In the spring, we import packages of bees from Northern California to stock our own hives. We also import many additional packages for the local beekeepers association SABA (South-central Alaska Beekeepers Association) as well as other beekeepers in the area. Packages are delivered in mid-April to various areas of the region. We guarantee our packages and queens to arrive in good shape with well mated queens ready to lay. If you are interested in ordering bees, please visit the package bees page. Orders for spring delivery need to be placed in January or February to ensure availability.
