Bees out drinking water

Bees were out and about yesterday drinking water. Did you see any bees 🐝 ? Reminder: bee packages should arrive this week. #belmontfeedandseed #bees #savethebees #beekeeping #beekeeper #beekeeping #beekeepinglife

We are re-posting this video as a reminder that you must check your hive(s) to see if the bees have enough food. Food supplies are limited/nonexistent at this time in the season, so if your bees are still alive, they might need food in form of a pollen patty. Today may not be the best day to check them as it is raining but any day above 50 and with sun PLEASE check them, Wednesday looks promising. #belmontfeedandseed #savethebees #beekeeper #beekeeping #spring

Did you know a single bee colony flies over 55,00 miles and visits more than 2 million flowers to make one pound of honey? Bees are the world’s most important pollinators of food crops. It’s no surprise beekeeping is trending in urban settings — a term dubbed as Urban Beekeeping or Backyard Beekeeping. Beekeeping can impact communities in a big way, as their presence provides cities with economic and environmental benefits. Belmont Feed & Seed is Chicago’s first beekeeping store, serving the community with equipment and supplies for over five years. To meet the growing demand for beekeeping among city dwellers, we educate, equip and encourage beekeeping to the Chicago-land community. Belmont Feed & Seed is your one-stop-shop for urban beekeeping.

Installing Bee Packs

There are two types of people. 1. people who can’t wait to install new bee packs in the Spring, or 2. people who freak out with this video. Which are you? 😍 or 😱 Did you know that honey bees are (for the most part) docile when you are installing a bee pack? They’re just trying to find a home and food, so they’re not concerned with you. 🐝🍯 — our 2lb & 3lb Bee Pack’s are for sale online. https://www.belmontfeedandseed.com/beekeeping/bee-pack.html If you don’t want to install a bee pack but want bees consider purchasing a Nucleus Hive (nuc) or possibly let one of our in-house beekeepers install it for you. #belmontfeedandseed #beekeeping

How are your bees doing today? It’s unseasonably hot for October, and bees are out collecting pollen and kicking out the drones. 🍁🐝🍯 Sound on to listen to Lidia narrate what’s going on. ☺️ #belmontfeedandseed #honeybees #october #beehives #hives #cityhives #beekeeping #womenbeekeepers #beekeepers #beekeeperlife #localhoney

Belmont Feed & Seed is Chicago's specialty store for people that keep Pigeons, Bees, Chickens, Small Birds, and other poultry and farm animals in an urban setting. Our store has been in business for over 25 years and the love we have for these hobbies have carried us through these years.

We are a family owned, very special and unique store located right in the City of Chicago. The reason our store is so special is because it carries an interesting variety of products for people that have decided to keep poultry, farm animals and bees in an urban setting. Our establishment and our increase are at the demand of a growing population of people that want to hold on to the special characteristics of humans to cultivate, reproduce and nurture animals.

This beautiful bond between humans and nature is what we and our customers are able to cherish by finding products to strengthen and increase this bond right here at our store. Over the years man-kind has become progressively further from the human-animal bond, however, there are a growing number of people that are longing to hold on to these virtues. We love to be here for those people.

We Are Here For You!

For The Backyard Poultry Keeper

Our customers don't need to buy eggs at the market anymore! A growing number of people are raising chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys and other poultry right in their backyards. Here at our store they find everything they need to keep poultry in their backyard including feed, medications, bedding, supplies, and supplements. Not only that but our store has been selling live baby chicks and other baby poultry like ducks, geese, turkeys, and quails for years! Our helpful staff can also answer any questions related to the products that we carry.

For The Urban Beekeeper

The truth is that we are Chicago’s first beekeeping supply store. It is also true to say that there are urban beekeepers right here in Chicago that are striving to keep the decreasing bee population alive. They are a group of people keeping beehives on rooftops, in gardens, and in backyards no matter the size of the lot that they are on. These bees have an amazing impact on urban gardens as they pollinate millions of plants, and flowers across the cities. For this cause, we are here to supply the urban beekeeper with all of his/her beekeeping needs including hive tools, hive bodies and supers, hive equipment, beekeeping protective equipment, smokers, bee medications, and so much more. We also sell live bee packages, live working hives, and queen bees to make starting or expanding your apiary that much easier.

For The Pigeon Racer In 1989, this store was opened to serve a large number of pigeon racers from Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa and other states. To this day, we pride ourselves in specializing in pigeon racing products including a wide variety of pigeon feeds, a collection of medications to treat every pigeon sickness or disease, a grand inventory of supplements to keep your birds healthy and strong and also numerous other loft supplies needed for racing pigeons. Many of our customers are actively pigeon racing as a sport and a hobby. Our store also offers pigeon racing expertise and information about how you could get involved in the growing sport of Pigeon Racing.

Pigeon racing is the sport of transporting specially trained pigeons and then releasing them all at the same time, which then have the mission of returning to their individual homes. The time it takes the animal to cover the carefully measured and specified distance is recorded and the bird's rate of travel is calculated and compared with all of the other pigeons in the race to determine which pigeon returned at the fastest speed. In the mid-1900s pigeon racing was considered a classy gentleman’s sport in America. To this day there are thousands of pigeon racing clubs all across the United States and even more internationally.

For The Pigeon Fancier We are here to serve you with free information, products, tools, medications, and anything that you might need to raise and breed those beautiful pigeons that you are keeping. We have learned that if one is able to keep their birds healthy and happy this shows great leadership and responsibility qualities.

For The Small or Exotic Bird Keepers This is your humble family-owned neighborhood bird store. We are here to supply your bird keeping needs and we also sell locally raised small birds like canaries, parakeets, cockatiels, love birds, doves, and finches. We have bird feed in both vitamin and non-vitamin styles as well as small toys and cages

Pot Belly Pigs, Horses, Sheep, Goat and other Farm Animals We carry feeds, supplements, and bedding for keeping farm animals in the city. Just give us a call to see if we have it

Whether you are a commercial breeder, a beekeeper, pigeon racer, or just a typical owner of some of these special pets, our goal is for you to have absolute confidence in the superior value that we offer at Belmont Feed & Seed

If your birds are for competition, or just for pleasure, it is important to us that when you see the shine in their eyes, and the obvious healthy vitality in their movements, you know that part of that happy bird's condition is due to the years of careful study we pride ourselves at Belmont Feed & Seed Inc. You can always count on us for the best quality feeds, the greatest understanding of these special hobbies and the reliability of the products that we offer to keep these awesome and much-needed pets.
