Cultural Beekeeping

Apiculture

The Quapaw Nation has initiated a beekeeping project aimed at promoting environmental sustainability and supporting local agriculture. This initiative focuses on establishing apiaries to produce honey and other bee-related products, while also enhancing pollination for crops in the region. By engaging in apiculture, the Quapaw Nation contributes to biodiversity and offers educational opportunities for community members interested in beekeeping practices.
Bees are essential pollinators, and their presence directly enhances crop yield, flower reproduction, and overall soil health. This project not only helps protect and stabilize local bee populations, but also produces raw honey and beeswax used in tribal programs and cultural outreach. The honey is harvested with care and sold seasonally through the Quapaw Farmers Market and Food Hub, giving the community a sweet taste of sustainable, homegrown tradition.

The absolute best quality meat in the county!! I've bought ground beef and bison but they've got every cut of meat, even the less popular but more delicious cuts like tongue...

I started driving over a few months ago to get some buffalo ribeye steaks for NYE. Since then I spot by as often as I can. They are always so kind and helpful.
