About Us
Generations Rooted in beekeeping
Our Story
Our journey began over 50 years ago when John Foster, a passionate beekeeper, established B-Z Bee Pollination, Inc. in the welcoming community of Esparto. Growing up in a beekeeping family, John inherited a wealth of knowledge and a genuine love for the intricate world of bees. Today, alongside his wife and children, he continues to lead the company with the same dedication and hands-on approach that has been our hallmark from the start.
Nestled in the northern Sacramento region, our location offers a moderate climate ideal for maintaining our 30,000+ hives. This strategic positioning also provides us with easy access to clients throughout California and the West Coast, where the demand for reliable pollination services is significant. We are proud to support local growers of almonds, tree fruits, sunflowers, and seed crops, leveraging our generations of experience to ensure successful pollination and bountiful harvests.
