COVID-19 Update – Store closed for in-person visits

Our BeeManiacs store is now closed and will remain closed until further notice.

Following WA State regulations and recommendations to avoid the spread of COVID-19 for non-essential stores, we decided to close our regular hours, minimizing in-person contact with the potential spread of the COVID-19.

To place orders for beekeeping supplies, you can just visit our online shop, place an order for “pick up at store” and we will confirm once it’s ready to pick up. Only beekeeping equipment is available at this time and we’re not selling honey until the store is back open for in-person visits.

If you have questions about what to buy, how to use the equipment or any beekeeping question in general, you can take advantage of our online forum system. Most beekeeping classes and meetings in the area have been canceled, so having a way to clear your questions online should be of great help to local beekeepers.

Remember that you can also use our free online education material.

Once WA State removes the meeting restrictions we will reopen the store for regular hours.

Up to this point bee packages are scheduled to arrive on Saturday, April 18 and that date has not been delayed or canceled.

We recommend to check this website for updates or follow us on social media to receive notifications about schedule changes.

BeeManiacs store hours for 2020 season

We are now open for the 2020 season, with a big change from previous years. Sundays instead of Saturdays.

From March 15, 2020, to September 27 we open Sundays from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm

Please note that due to COVID-19 we may be changing our store hours at any time (whenever the government issues instructions to stores). We keep our hours updated on our website so we recommend checking our website before coming to BeeManiacs. Also, you may consider ordering your bee supplies online and picking up at the store. We will process online orders as they arrive and have the material ready to pick up through the week.

Our online store is open 24/7/365. You can place orders online and select “Pick up at store” and we will have the material ready to pick up within one or two days.

For the 2020 season, we don’t have any bee classes scheduled. If you enrolled in any bee class through your respective bee association, please check the class schedules with them. Some associations have rescheduled their classes and others have canceled them for this season.

As beekeeping meetings are canceled or reduced, having an online tool to clear your questions should come handy. For beekeeping support, you can reach us through our forum system: https://beemaniacs.com/community/

If your bee class was canceled or would like to get some extra information for this season, you can always use our free online education material: https://beemaniacs.com/education/

Store Closes for the Season – Online Remains Open

It’s that time of the year when most beekeepers in the Inland Northwest finished checking their hives, treating for mites, and feeding when needed.

There’s no much beekeeping activity left, so we usually close our store for the season.

The BeeManiacs online store remains open 24/7/365 though. If you need any beekeeping material, you can place an order online and we will ship it to you or you can still select “pick up at the store” and we will schedule an appointment for you to pick up your order.

If you rather buy items at the store in person, we can open by appointment. Just send us an email to info@beemaniacs.com and we will schedule your visit.

We will open again for regular hours of Friday, February 15, 2019.
