About the Store
About Arkansas Honeyworks
Arkansas Honeyworks is a beekeeping supply store in Benton, Arkansas, inside Patina & Grace Flea Market at 17186 US-70. We opened in early 2026 to give central Arkansas beekeepers a local, in-person source for hives, treatments, gear, and the practical knowledge to use them well.
We carry brands and equipment we have researched and would use ourselves. We do not stock everything — we stock what works for Arkansas conditions and Arkansas beekeepers, from beginners on their first hive through experienced operators running multiple yards.

Service Area
Who we serve
Saline County is our home county. We also regularly serve customers from across Central Arkansas and the Ouachita region — Little Rock, North Little Rock, Sherwood, Maumelle, Conway, Hot Springs, Hot Springs Village, Malvern, Arkadelphia, Bryant, and surrounding communities.
Our customer base runs from first-year beekeepers picking up a starter kit to experienced operators sourcing varroa treatments and queen rearing equipment for multiple yards. We aim to be useful at both ends of that range without condescending to either.
Operating Philosophy
How we work
Physical retail, not e-commerce
You come to us, see the equipment, and we help you choose what fits your situation. No online checkout — the value of a physical store is the in-person conversation.
No upsell on commodities
A hive tool is a hive tool. We will tell you which one is better and why, and we will tell you honestly when it does not matter. Spend the difference on the gear where it matters.
Point you to the real experts
UAEX (University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service) runs the state beekeeping program. The Arkansas Beekeepers Association is where you find local mentors. We stock the equipment; they handle the deep technical training.
