Croteau Apiary is a one acre organic bee farm located on 51 Union Avenue Skowhegan, Maine.

David Croteau started the farm on his own with the help of some friends. His bees make a lot of honey and winter on their own honey and are fed sugar only in emergencies. David Croteau got involved with bees about six years ago, because David had severe arthritis and getting stung actually helps. A friend told him about the bee-keeping idea, and also told him about the Warre hives method. He got interested and decided to become a beekeeper.

David uses Warre hives because they are cheap and easy to produce, and the equipment required is minimal. He became a farmer in 2003 with five hives and by 2006 had covered his start-up costs for twenty hives and all the equipment. David also raises chickens and sells fresh eggs. He welcomes visitors anytime. He sells at the farmers’ market and the farm as well.
