As one of the founders of The Hive Supply Company, Naaman Gambill is currently a managing partner and our chief beekeeper. He has overseen our growth from a few hives here and there to where we are today - 350 beehives throughout Chicagoland. A leader in beekeeping education and pioneer of innovative management techniques. Naaman invests his time back in the community inspiring the next generation of urban farmers to get involved.
For over a decade Naaman has been teaching beekeeping to students in schools and park districts across Chicagoland. He has continually focused on making sure that all beekeepers have access to the right equipment, education and services as well as delivering leading edge services to corporate partners and clients.
Naaman lives in Chicago and enjoys exploring the hidden areas that make Chicago such a diverse ecosystem. 

“Established in 2016, The Hive Supply Company is Chicago’s premier beekeeping supply store. We are dedicated to providing top-quality supplies for all your beekeeping needs. From hive tools and protective gear to feeders and honey extractors, we have everything you need to keep your bees happy and healthy.

As beekeepers ourselves we not only manage our own hives and harvest the honey to sell in our store, online and at farmers markets, but also maintain hives for businesses and organizations in and around Chicago.

 We are also passionate about educating the next generation about the importance of bees and how to properly care for them. Our experienced staff offers a variety of educational programs, including hands-on lessons, interactive activities, and informative presentations. We believe that educating the next generation about the vital role bees play in our ecosystem is crucial, and we are committed to providing fun and engaging learning experiences for students of all ages”.
