Message from Supplier:
"Wendy Park, a third-generation beekeeper, was raised in the world of queen selection and breeding, learning from her grandfather, Homer Park, and her father, Steve Park—both pioneers in the industry. In 2010, Wendy Park married Josh Sullivan, who quickly embraced the art of beekeeping under Steve Park’s guidance. Just three years later, in 2012, Josh Sullivan Beekeeping was born. 

Family is at the heart of our success. With our four daughters—Stevie, Paylyn, Abelha, and Merica—we continue to build on this rich heritage.In 2025, we established SPAM,LLC Sullivan Park Apiaries Management taking the next step in our journey, acquiring Steve Park Apiaries’ Queen-rearing operation in Palo Cedro, California, as a continuation of the Park family’s tradition of excellence.

Our queens are bred with one goal in mind: to create thriving, productive colonies that stand the test of time. Here’s what sets our queens apart:
· Longer lifespans that ensure consistent hive stability.
· High brood production for robust and growing colonies.
· Heavy honey supers that drive greater yields.
· Larger pollination populations designed for the demands of commercial beekeeping.

Our operation in Shasta County is uniquely situated to maintain pure Italian Queen DNA, supported by ample high-quality drones that saturate the area for optimal mating. This, combined with generations of experience, ensures every queen we produce meets the highest standards."
