Family business at the foot of Fort Mountain in Chatsworth, Georgia, with roughly 17,000 square feet of stocked retail and warehouse space. Woodenware, protective gear, feeders, medications, extraction and bottling equipment sit under one roof, and packages, nucs and mated queens come from the company's own stock. Bees are shipped as well as collected, which puts Barnyard ahead of most regional stores of this size.
The teaching happens on YouTube: hundreds of plain spoken videos on inspections, feeding and mite treatment, filmed in the company's own yards. Handy for a beginner who learns by watching rather than reading. Weaker points are the seasonal rhythm, since bee stock is gone by early summer, and a website that lags behind the warehouse, so a phone call still beats the shopping cart for stock checks.
