Hi,Where can a person buy supplies for selling package bees and queens or do most build their own,things like boxes for package bees and syrup and shipping ?

Do you need license to sell bees ? Where do you get one if you do ?

  I believe the State of Texas does require a licence to sell bees commercially.  I would assume the Texas Department of Agriculture would be where you need to go.

Do you need license to sell honey?

  I think only Florida requires this at this point.

There is usually a limit that you can sell before you need to get a license. I think in NC it's around 10 hives per year (or something like that). Ask AG before you apply for one though.

In NC, you need to be registered with the State to sell more than 10 packages or nucs.
